Here is a closeup of the hand-made fillet brazed head tube on the frame. It is made of straight gauge 4130 cromoly steel tubing. Bike weight came in around 31 lbs. with the pump and 2 water bottle holders, probably 30 lbs. stripped. In stock form I think it ran 33 lbs. according to the catalog scans, but I recall it ran a few lbs. more than that. (4/11)
