It's a somewhat light bike (~22 pounds) and a lot of fun to ride.
Yeah -- 74 degrees was popular in the 1970s, for the criterium craze. I am more comfortable with a traditional sports touring 72 or 73 degree head tube.

I agree about 10kg being light enough for fun (coincidentally the weight of my Bianchi), but I guess that is heavy by today's standards.
