What does your classic road bike weigh? How does it compare to modern bikes?

[Jules_OldSchool]

I'm glad the fashionista's are out there paying outrageous sums of money for bikes which are probably in the main made in China to very average standards; as it lines the pockets of our Government in terms of the various purchase and Sales Taxes levied; and hopefully assists to keep the cost of a Gallon of Diesel down when 4 wheels are required

Maybe said fashionistas are paying a fortune on insuring and locking up these things too...

Me?! I've never had a bike stolen, and I know why... coz they're too old / cheap / dirty. Always better to lock up a dirty bike up in a public place than a clean one.
