That Teledyne wasn't all that light unless I'm reading things wrong. You could use a plastic headset , Mafac plastic brake levers, DiaCompe sidepulls, and Huret Jubilee derailleurs and knock some more weight off of the bike. Not to mention Hi-E wheels and pedals. I can't imagine drillium Campagnolo matching those components. Too bad my Teledyne frame broke, I'd still have a bike like that. Eric Keller Boalsburg, PA
