Alloy frame was around 5lbs, cromo nearer 10lbs! I had One of those for a while in the late 90's, they rode great! Was always a bit worried about it snapping though being alloy, I think the One in the pic is a later version with the cromo sleeve in the headtube.

Mine is ally, it is sleeved in the head tube and bottom bracket, it does weigh around 5lbs or so.

Got some twin pinch flights on the way, not sure which wheels yet, might be blue skyways (or white, I've got some of them) OG decals are on the way from Ron W now hopefully.

Wouldn't mind some Juice bars (anyone??)

Looking forward to riding it!

that top tube passing through the steerer tube is very much like a Huffy one ton, which was an almost accurate guess of the frame weight!

And the S&M Menstural Cycle, and obviously VDCs. They were all cro-mo. I not so many in ally tho.

 :shocked: that many! I cant really say i like the look of it in all fairness, i have 3 huffys and people keep on offering me the one ton and half ton and i just dont like the look of them, they look kinda awkward, no offence meant to the OP's frame at, just my opinion
