55-65kg depending on wether you make it from 1.6mm or 2mm wall tube and what ever else has been added to it.

I'd be interested to know what all the different chassis weigh; just as a benchmark for the MM Paradigm you see.

Worth a new thread maybe?

Yeah it'd be good for everyone to have a reference thread i think.

My powder coated Mac#1 Worx chassis with all suspension brackets, engine cradle and roll bar weighed in at 70.5kg
