Bikes: (2) ti TiCycles, 2007 w/ triple and 2011 fixed, 1979 Peter Mooney, ~1983 Trek 420 now fixed and ~1973 Raleigh Carlton Competition gravel grinder

Oh, weight - I made zero attempt to save weight. That old Trek is running 28c Pasela tires, sturdy rims with lots of spokes, fenders, a LowRider front rack, has a U-bolt lock mounted on it, a toolbag with 2 tubes, and 6" crescent (for the rear hub nuts). A custom steel stem (that is a mile long - I have the wingspan of a small airplane), a very ordinary Sugino crankset and Shimano BB. 1/8" chain, ring and cog. Zefal HP pump. 2 steel WB cages. Like I said, no weight savings! 27 pounds or 12 kg (including the lock).
