Member Contributer mello dude Posted September 1, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've got one hanging on the wall in my garage but I won't be able to weigh it until Friday PM... I'd be interested in that too. I think I do remember on the forums someone said 11 pounds but I cant claim to have a memory...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNRabbit Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Do you mean the subframe portion that the seat is on or are you talking about the main frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer gig Posted September 1, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 1, 2014 TNR, Rear subframe, that the seat is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer mello dude Posted September 1, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 1, 2014 6 lbs 14 oz. Hanging from a fish scale? Hmmm, that's surprizing, thought it was much more than that. If so, building one out of aluminum, doesnt gain you much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted September 1, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 1, 2014 6 lbs 14 oz. Hanging from a fish scale? Hmmm, that's surprizing, thought it was much more than that. If so, building one out of aluminum, doesnt gain you much. I am not a fisherman but i do use the bathroom. So i weighed myself and then weighed myself holding the part. on my bathroom scale (digital). I am building one from alloy (front half only) for a track bike so happen to have one apart at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted September 2, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 2, 2014 +- 2lbs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted September 2, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 2, 2014 Perhaps +- 3-4 ounces... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted September 2, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 2, 2014 Close a enough Griff ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer gig Posted September 9, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 9, 2014 yea, i was thinking of getting an alloy subframe fabricated if 11lbs as reported, but at 6lbs would not be a good lb savings per $ spent investment for me, unless I made myself as corner carver is doing. Maybe corner carver will offer to sell duplicates at a special vfrd member price once fabricated?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
