Not it. Already pulled the bent rack off it. The 2 inches extra tube does not weigh enough to account for this weight. The Traveler is listed as a 26lb bike. This Le Tour is every bit of 30lb if not more.
Trying to find the listed weight. Ahh I found it
http://www.geocities.com/sldatabook/...977superletour Listed weight is 26.5 lb for the 21 inch I would assume. The Traveler is listed as 26lb so they list out the same but there is NO WAY that generator weighs that much more. Wonder if somebody shot some sealant into the tubes?
I'll scale it when I get home tomorrow. The Traveler is already in pieces with some of the crusty parts in the electrolysis tub having the rust removed. It will be a few days before I can get a weight on it.
