As for weight and strength this Paramount frame set will be a bit lighter 1lb or so than a nice 4140 double butted frame set and about equal strength wise. The really nice build quality and OS tubing will make it a bit stiffer and more responsive ride than most steel frame sets. While I wouldn't you could put a carbon fiber fork and seat post on it to get a bit more modern feel to the ride.
