Weights are from memory, but I'm sure they're accurate within .5 if I go back and Check the CAD. Weights not including bellypan, which varied from 1.5-2.5 lbs each year iirc.
I didn't point out the weight difference to be harsh or brag, but to get people thinking. We don't do anything new or innovative with our frames (still ripping off Glenn Thoroughmen's fantastic designs) and we've never failed one.

They look good. If you've got access to the CAD file would you mind switching the material to 4130 steel and making the wall thickness either 0.035 or 0.045? If that's easy to do I would be curious about the weight.

321 didn't get picked up today because the front desk of the high school wouldn't let him in! Thank goodness the FedEx driver was nice enough to come back and get it for us! - Chuck Glick [more]
