Bikes: yeah; got a couple...

Well, since I'm a sucker for vintage stuff anyway, and the price seemed right (marked down from $1699 to $699!), I went back for this KGB. Before too long I'll be swapping bits out for better quality, "weight weenie" stuff... I'll ride it as it is for now though. Weight is 24 lbs. with the pedals. Frame weight is 3.3 lbs. It's a generic Russian Ti frame from mid-late 90's, with the KGB in this case being a house brand from either Euro-Asia Imports or Montrose Bike where I bought it. Turns out the fork is a Rockshox MAG 21 SL/Ti... I was told they built the frame up with older stock they still had (and still have too...). They made me a killer price on the Frog pedals (both not on it yet) as an upgrade to what was there. Should be a fun XC bike for me... Different anyway.
