Thanks for keeping track of this @Miq; I enjoy seeing the differences between models and years. I'll keep my European bikes out of the mix, plus most of them I only have the stripped frame weight. Just for some eye candy I'll toss in a pic of a classic Colnago, fairly light with Columbus custom tubing, but made more for increased stiffness than weight. It's posted elsewhere in detail under "Colnago Mexico 1986"; 2nd gen. Nuovo Mexico model. Thought I'd give it's "cousin" carbon Colnago some company.

@comet weighed the 1939 Paramount Racer he picked up yesterday. 22 lbs!! First Paramount Racer we've actually gotten a measurement of. Incredible bike in stunning condition. E. J. Lobdell wooden rims, ND rear hub.

Very light and cool blue racer @kccomet !! Thank you for adding it. I love it when they are so old and sooo light, and yours is topping the list. :)

Here's a 1974 Raleigh International. Frame only was 5lbs. Complete bike 24lbs. 1 1/2lbs more than the catalog says. It is original except the rims, so maybe that is the 1 1/2 lbs. It is now for sale in the complete bike section.

Thanks for adding it and the pics while you still have it @comet! Not too far below your 1939 Paramount Racer. Hope it goes to a good home.
