Glad to see you are getting yours going again
- chain, derailleur, and pedals, - that's another 2.5 lbs give or take, but you'd get some of that back with a light saddle like an SLR or something similar if your caboose can stand those, and some latex tubes
I think that one above was around 18, but that was with tubulars built around Mavic GEL 280 rims
Thanks. I never counted pedals as part of the bike weight since they vary so wildly, always thought of them more as part of the shoe. I think that has always been? In any case, all up weight now, complete, minus pedals, and the honking heavy temporary saddle is 18 pounds and 15 ounces. If you count the pedals then right at 20 and I can get a few ounces back on the saddle.
This is not a restoration, I wanted to somewhat modernize and make useful again a nice frame that is kind of unique with the triple triangle and beautiful polished aluminum tubing.
So, final weight, complete, sans pedal system, 18 pounds and 15 ounces, call it 19 pounds.
