Stop saying fixie. It's well annoying....
My first girlfriends big sis drove a Talbot hatchback. It came from the factory without a left hand mirror, radio, rear wiper or other useful stuff. It had an engine roughly half the size of the one on my chainsaw. Built like a fucking tank though, passed it's mot without ever needing a penny spent on it.
I'd be surprised if you get it under 9kg without draping expensive parts all over it that should really be on a much nicer frame. Build it, ride it, enjoy it!
Good luck with the french threaded parts, the frame looks in pretty good nick so hopefully they'll just need a service instead of replacing.
