I'm cross-posting this to the RBW list because Joe B said that Grant had
mentioned Libertas in a Reader.
Can anyone remember which issue, or provide a link?
Thanks!

I just bought a 1970s Libertas frameset (my brother finds these things and
I benefit from the trickle-down), apparently a minor Belgian marque now
long defunct.
I've not yet personally fondled and weighed or measured the frame, but per
my brother these stats are of interest:
Dimensions are 60 X 56 c-c, just my size, tho' I might need a 9 cm stem
instead of the usual 8; and:
*It weighed 5.8 lb, frame and fork, **with** f and r Weinmann calipers and
steel Campy Record hs.*
I did some quick Googling and calculating to guesstimate 1 lb for the hs
and calipers, leaving large frame and fork at 4lb 13 oz.
PDL.
In addition, the Libertas has few if any braze-ons, leaving it nicely
neutral for adaptation for a AM-hubbed road bike.
More news as it develops.
The Libertas is Option 2 for the Next New Road Bike; Option 1 is a custom.
