So far I've only had the opportunity to weigh one frame, a mid-60's Bottecchia built from Falck tubing. Not much is known about Falck tubing of the period including whether or not it's even butted but here are results for a 56cm frame:
Frame weight: 4 lb 12.4 oz (2165g)
Fork weight: 1 lb 11.1 oz (767g)
I would expect an 80's frame to be a bit less but there are many variables.
