Not that unbelievable. I've seen fixies/SS built on old Schwinn frames from the 1980s. The 1980 Schwinn Varsity weighed 37 pounds and the Continental weighed 35. With the weight savings from changing the drive train to single speed, I can see a bike of this vintage still weighing in over 30#. Some of the old cruisers were even heavier.
