I read somewhere, maybe here that only about 1/5 of the weight of a bike is the frame. With newer lighter components it's a lighter bike. Make it a fixie or freewheel .... my ancient Motobecane Mixte Freewheel is surprisingly light.Originally Posted by sandra
It is nice, but it is really old. I bet it is really heavy. I like the ones that are a little newer vintage.
It's not as if I'll be doing epic climbs on it anyway
