In 2009 I undertook a similar project with a 1973 24" Super Sport frameset, and got the weight down to 26.36 lbs. I used the TruVativ bottom bracket adapter and a Campagnolo Comp Triple group. The goal was having a rugged road bike with very wide range gearing.



Shown in low gear to emphasize the absurdity of the gearing.
