I guess one has to get their head out of the sand(among other places) and look at old school steel in comparison to new lghter stuff. The poster's question was.. 'are they light or relatively heavy bikes?'. The real answer is they weren't bad for their time, but that time was a long time ago. Or light or heavy compaared to what ?
