Hey Wepnx,

Well...thats a huge effort....nice job.
How is the top end weight factor...being all tube there must be a bit of weight there.
Where are you planning on driving it ?

cheers mate,
the weight is around 300gms for the frame which isnt to bad the cog is fairly high compared with a comp style build, but this things just gonna be a social basher unless she performs fairly well then i may just throw her in the ring :wink: i have a rock course in the backyard but i also hit the quarry or jc when i get the chance.
cheers Aaron.
