Edit: I've swapped the saddle, and put SPDs on it. It wouldn't have SPDs originally, so I've added weight. It has original tyres. The saddle I swapped a Bonty ti for a Flite Ti, so very little weight difference.
I've got a 92 Axis with OX tubing (as well as a 91 with OX tubing) and those frames are notably heavier than the TT-Lite frames used in the Apex and Axis in subsequent years.Russell":vkki5d4x said:Really?

Plenty hardtails in the mid nineties in that price bracket and weight range.

'Mid range' bikes of that vintage were just as commonly specced rigid.
And if you look at Alu bikes of those years many come well under that ceiling weight.
