I think the 1981 or so Bianchi Super Corsa was under 19lbs. It came with titanium axle pedals, titanium bottom bracket, drilled chain, Everest alloy freewheel, super light 32 spoke Mavic OR 7 rims, and Clemente sew ups. Also 3ttt SL saddle. I tried to find the listed weight from vintage catalog scans on Bulgier's web site but was unable to access it. Can anyone verify this?
Another really, really light bike is the 1981 Austro Daimler Ultima SL. The smoked-chrome frame is made of Reynolds 531 SL with drilled Campy drop-outs. I recall that the frame, minus fork, weighs about 1700 grams. I have one fitted with 28 spoke Fiamme Ergal wheels, alloy "corn cob" freewheel, drilled Regina chain, Concor SL saddle, and Super Record group. Weight on my digital scale is 16.8 lbs.
