The guy who goes by the name norskagent here on bikeforums has one, too.
The weight is probably typical for a fine bike of the day, maybe 21 pounds? about five pounds more than a high end modern bike, although I suppose a big percentage of that is the components. As I am probably 50 pounds overweight, it's an insignificant to amount to me. On the other hand the Peter Mooney, even stripped down, is a damned boat anchor.
