Hello
Because I find this sort of thing interesting, sorry lol I thought I would compare the weight of a Shimano 600 (1980s) 6 speed 13 to 18 freewheel (a time trial spread of sprockets?) to a Tourney (2025) 6 speed 14 to 28 (a more normal spread for 6 speed?) freewheel.
The Shimano 600 weighed 335g
The Tourney weighed 366g
So only a difference of 31g
Now because I can not find a decent 6 speed Shimano 600 spread for reasonable money I'm going to install the Tourney instead and see how I get on.
So weight wise not a lot...but quality? It looks ok
