(Yes, the fender lines suck, but those old steeel fenders are most likely going on my Super Course.) 25.5 lbs as shown, in all its Hi-Ten splendor.
The hi-ten sibling (or perhaps a cousin) to my '81 Imperial. Believe it or not, the Imperial, a Tange 2 beast, came stock with Dura Ace AX.
Pretty much the same decals and headbadge, though:
Yours have a dealer sticker on it?
Also wondering what you're running for a front chainring. Thinking of doing a single speed or fixie build myself, and considering options.
Thinking of either the Apollo or the beatup pink Shogun triple triangle pictured elsewhere in this thread. Gotta build those lungs (and legs) back up.
