yeah, but is it as devious as yours?

also note your avatar doesn't show the very front of the design either. it could all be an elaborate plan to trick us here

well your obviously pleased so I recon 45kg

though your about to say it’s got accidentally glued to the floor…

like it, especially the extra bracing turned out pretty good in the end.

48.5 kgs

smart51 - 20/4/08 at 08:46 PM

39 kg. Mine weighs 34 and yours looks a bit bigger.

I see you're from "over there". 39kg = 86lbs

Thanks. The large tubes are 1.5" x 16g about 38mm x 1.6mm
The smaller tubes are 1" (25mm) same thickness.

Mr Whippy - 20/4/08 at 09:07 PM

oh when are you going to spill the beans?

Triton - 20/4/08 at 09:40 PM

25kg

Alan B - 20/4/08 at 10:05 PM

I'm pleased that it's almost finished...not that it's especially featherweight.

Anyway, the winner, without further ado is.............

Hammerhead

Your guess of 74kg (165 pounds) is the closest...the answer is 173 pounds (78kg)

I certainly wish it was more like the average guess which quite a bit lower.

Thanks for the positive feedback too...
