unworthy1: did not cross my mind to weigh it ... I have a 1978 Gazelle Champ Mondial with 531 tubing. this mercier (at its current state) feels about 60% of the weight of the Gazelle (full bike)
hrm... don't think this help at all ahahha sorry don't have a weighing machine at home, my estimate is the best gauge i can give for now.
JULS: YEAH! i LOVE the seat stays and fork. Those are my fav. part of the frame. DIY with paint stripper, didn't notice any pink bits; i guess the previous owner must have completely striped the original paint when he repainted it.
