I did remember, and I put it on my kitchen scale. It's around 100g, on a cheap Ikea kitchen scale; so it would appear to be a contender but not necessarily a winner. Unfortunately I did not photo it.

I've had this one for years, hasn't been mounted on a bike since 1982 or 3, don't remember where I got it. I'm pretty sure it was mounted on my Raleigh Pro until I found a Campy. At any rate, I don't need it. If you want me to part with it, send me a pm!
