That's not terrible for a hybrid; a TIG welded 21" Trek Multitrack 750 frame (True Temper OX), fork, and headset weighs in at an unimpressive 7lbs 2oz. Hybrids had heavy forks, around 900 grams; the high end Cannondales of the era had superlight Al forks that were made in PA by hand. Along with sub 3lb frames, they were very light bicycles for the 90s. At the time, this brand focused on low weight and visual impact.
