The 2 heaviest vintage also have 27" wheels.
6 of 10 vintage bikes are tubulars, and maybe 7 of 10 soon.

I consider under 30# to be just fine, but do have this one @ 21 pounds with clinchers and a Brooks.
Not counting the 58 pound electric Schwinn, my current heavyweight champ is a Raleigh Superbe @ 41.4 pounds. (a patch kit, some 1st aid stuff and the original 17 tooth rear cog in the seat bag did inflate the total a bit) Don

Just sold my house so all my extra bikes are gone. In the apartment I now have my trusty 56 cm 1997 Cannondale Caad 3 at 18 pounds and my 1987 58 cm Schwinn Super Sport is 22 pounds. There is nothing original on the Super Sport and all the parts are not the lightest but work and look good. Bike size and wheels make a big difference, as much as two pounds or more.
