I doubt that there is a 1lb difference between the steel bike and the aluminum bike, especially of the 520 is double butted.
BTW, its a 2001 Jamis and it came with brifters (Tiagra).
I went from an aluminum Cannondale to a steel Bianchi for my #2 bike this year and I'm very happy with that change.
If you buy that Jamis you won't regret it.
