OK, I wieghed my frame when I had my quad powder coated this winter, and it weighed in at about 75lbs, a 100lbs with subframe.

So how much weight are we talking about saving here???? I would say it better shedd 50lbs minimium if they want people to spend $$$$ .

Bigger.

Bigger,

I'm glad you are pursuing it. A friend of mine that makes Chrome moly frames works with LRD (and actually used to work for them) and he had an LRD frame right there at his shop. It looked good, all new and bigger tube. He could tell I was admiring it, and then he asked me to pick it up. The damn thing nearly wieghed exactly the same the stock one. Thats from a guy that used to be a welder for LRD and still does business with them. well, I picked up my jaw off the floor and felt pretty small after that.
