Well, just an update on this one. I picked up some used Campagnolo Scirocco's recently and decided to use them on this. I had an original Campagnolo conversion kit that allowed me to use and old 9 speed cassette, swap the rings, drop the largest cog, and then mount it to the modern wheelset. This dropped the bike from where it was at 21 lbs 7 ozs, to 20 lbs, 12 ozs. Then I swapped out the too narrow Flite Titanium saddle for a Fabric Scoop as well as swapped on a C.F. seatpost I had lying around unused. This gained me a another 2 ozs is weight lose, WOW!! LOL!!!!
