Thank you, never even considered weight. Is that a thing with steel bikes? Would be interesting to find out though. 

 

Just curious, it looks light but with steel it probably wont be....

I will let you know. Now I am curious as well. It will definitely benefit from the lack of 'multi-speed parts'.

Do those braded hoses have blood on them after cutting yourself when shortening the hoses and then having to ask someone else to finish the setup!?!?

You need to invest in a Dremel lol. Please. I promise its a tool you’ll use for everything. 
cutting compressionless or braded hoses with tongs is like using hammer to set your indexing????

Yes. Like a mini angle grinder cutting disk. I do all my cable housings with it because it makes a super clean cut.
