The Classic & Vintage weigh-in

Post what you got and total weight ~

Without getting into opinions of what matters and where shedding weight gives an advantage, I just thought it be fun to get a real weigh in. Kind of like fighters reading for the ring. Bike has to be dressed as ridden.

I'll start:
I've long gotten the weight weenie mentality out of my head but certainly appreciate the light weights. What I mean is my preference in chasing the components is not about lopping grams... or rather in the case of old stuff- pounds

Today was fun. Detoured and dropped by a fave LBS for a bit of 'show and tell' of this 1958 Vic Edwards in team Peugeot BP livery. I still have a few pieces to change out and ahemm... shed another 1/2 pound. Not like I'm trying but just a few neat vintage parts some maker of that era must have been conscience of weight. If going the whole 'hog' I'm confident to shredding another two pounds. But as it scales today, here's the old but handsome road warrior.
