My 1990 Ricardo is 531c with the original Suntour Sprint is 10kg or a bit more, been a while since I weighed it but I think that's about right. So back in the 80's anything under 10kg's was a good race bike in my opinion for the time.
Do you know the brand of you bike ? Looks nice to me.

The frame weight is 1,8 kg and 1,910 kgs after to be paint .
So, this bike, in order to run, has the same weight than my 1998 PEUGEOT "competition 7000" all COLUMBUS brain steel frame .

Mid 80s Sannino F&F I've been messing with for a couple of years. Built with 9 speed Dura Ace and mostly new other parts. Everything chosen for personal preference after I got over the idea of trying to restore it into mid-80s Campy it originally was sold with. Fun bike

I all had to do was put the front wheel on and adjust the handlebars.
That photograph was made at my house.

An early 80s Batavus that I stripped down and clear coated raw and converted to single speed.

Yea, that Washoe is pretty damn nice.
4 years ago when I got back into riding, I bought a 1999 Lemond Zurich all ultegra in very very good shape for $550. That bike was awesome. I had to sell it a couple of years later. Now I'm considering adding a new generation steel bike to replace my outgoing Roubaix. Be nice to have the Lemond brand again.
