Dragging this back to the top.

I finally got the chance to start back into a bike build project, so I dragged out the box of parts. Years ago, when I had my Mexico stripped bare, I weighed it. Also in my stash of unstarted projects I have an '80's vintage Raleigh Team Racing USA 753 frame and fork. I was curious how the weights would stack up. The Mexico is a 58 cm, and did have the headset cups and the fork still had the bearing race on it. The 753 frame is a 60 cm and was completely stripped. But it should give folks an idea of how light the frames are.

miamijim, I had asked you some time back if you ever had a mass for your Mexico, and ran across a post a while back where you had posted it up. I couldn't find the sheet as I had it squirreled away someplace. Sorry about that.

Weights came out as follows:

Mexico Frame: 1874 g
Mexico Fork: 726 g

753 Frame: 1866 g
753 Fork: 694 g

Now if I had a Super to compare it to, these numbers would mean something.
