There are amazing deals at www.teamplanetx.com on jack flash rads and a few others, i think i recal them coming with forks for around 500-550 if thats what your after.
(PS- i didnt read the thread, i just thought id add this)
Would you happen to know what the geo specs are on the 2004 moto that is available as a comeplete bike ($700 or so). Would this be raceable for 4X, or is the headangle too steep?
evils are kinda light
sinister dna's are 5.2
Snipes are 4.3
missiles are just really light
chamelions
there is a few titanium out there
im sure the tazers are light
P.3's are actually really light.
I have only ''ridden'' DS on it for fear of snapping the rear stays( not yet raced it), Schwinn Homegrown,
frame is probly around 3#'s , not too sure though
Per the Dirt Rag review on the SC Chameleon from a year or so back, the 19"(large) frame wieghed in at 3.9 lbs. Now they have since added a few new gussets, but I doubt the weight went up that much. No to mention that a smaller frame would probably weigh a bit less.
Personally, I want to know what the heck kind of mountain bike team gets sponsered by Marlboro (?!?! - do runners ever get sponsered by cig. companies?), Kinkos, Starbucks... Not one single mountain bike related company. Not even a tire manufacturer.
Giant STP 1 & 2 (model 2 has disc and v mounts so its probably slightly heavier) are around 4 lbs and from the various Al frames I've seen in that weight range, is probably the strongest with the all the forged bits and OS tubing...
The STP frame and geometry were developed to meet the exacting demands of Giant's legendary Trials and dirt jumping rider Jeff Lenosky. The top end STP 1 features an ALUXX SL butted aluminum frame with extruded bottom bracket yoke for maximum strength and the ability to accomodate wide 2.5" rear tire.
