I dunno if its worth using it as it could not tolerate a .2mm difference. I'll have to measure it using a decent calipers. Perhaps i could "borrow" a micrometer from the lab
I however, have a decent scales. The 62cm frame + fork weighed in at 6.86 of your medieval pounds. That sounds light enough to me but I'm not too experienced in C&V bikes.
Its not an ultra high end frame, I'm guessing. 600 groupset with a light enough frame sounds like a decent mid end frame to me. Its worth noting that the wheels are 700c sized, mavic rims with a 600 hubs.
Straight-gauge tubing, mid-level stuff. 6.86 pounds of avoir du poids is up there. Probably stiffer than all get-out, though....
Sounds like a shop brand, maybe Hacker of Germany?
