I had a custom frame built in 1979 with Columbus KL, pretty much Columbus' version of 753. It was one of the first 5 sets of KL in the US. Had the same frame sticker as regular Columbus back then. The bike was all Super Record with titanium BB axle, alloy freewheel, some drillium stuff, probably a few other minor lightweight items. That came in at 19lbs. The titanium BB and freewheel both lasted all of about 1 season. Don't think I could have made the bike lighter without really sacrificing reliability.
