Roadfan: 30lbs seems heavy considering stock they were in the 28lbs range (without rack, tools, etc)...original wheels were heavy, and the steel crank also, but shouldn't make that big a difference. Also, you will find the fork tubes are seamed but I think you are correct that the rest is seamless....

Hambone - I used a bathroom scale for mine....also I should note the used wheels/rims I have(had) were extremely light, which showed up in my taco'ing the front wheel at 2 mph in the back yard!

I love the blue on your bike as well....perfect backdrop in the photo as well.

wrk101: I have seen sugino cups show up on fleabay every so often as well, and checking at the LBS in the old parts bin may turn up original cups that can be used with a new spindle...I still have my original Sugino cups but decided to save them since the original Peugeot ones worked so well.
