supposedly , the 96 catalog gives 3.9
or 1.79 kg for a 18.5
I am a silly idiot :cry: as I did not weigh mine when I built it up to check if that was one more marketing exaggeration :roll:
all I know is that full bike weight for my build is about 10.5 kg so above the 9.9 of the catalog ( nearly identical save the rims and tyres and it does not make for the difference )
Most of the catalog weights are quite optimistic

They sure are. Even today many manufacturers are VERY optimistic.
That Breezer is pretty light for a 18,5" frame! :shock:

All I know is that weight means nothing when you put a 14.5 stone clydesdale like me on one
That said, my C-16 seems very light to me. About as light as I can handle.

I am only 10 stones and a few pounds but same comment
and much easier and cheaper to loose weight on the big chunk that the small one.
never understood the weightweenies
For comparison (and a laugh ), taken from the weight weenie listings :

90's Breezer steel frames weighed between 1680-1800 grams (3.7-3.9 pounds), depending on size.
