I'm really surprised by this as my 88 Schwinn Letour weighed in about 26 lbs without any fenders or other accessories and I'm sure my saddle was much lighter than a Brooks. In fact the bike that won the Tour De France that year, Delgado's Pinarello weighed in at almost 22 lbs. So old Schwinn really out did themselves in producing a bike designated for touring and yet within 2 lbs of a world beating racer.
