fair enough but Peugeot used fractional weights, 22.7 lbs, on a much larger frame, a 58 cm, in its 1982 catalog for a PXN 10. I own and ride that bike. I think, and you would know the answer better than I do, that manufacturers often offered a weight for a middling size since that is more typical of what most people ride.
