Awesome not helpful. Mine are all made of lead. I can't play

Of course you can, it’s like top trumps. Heaviest bike wins

Sorry guys, I was wrong with the year, it's more a 2000+ frame. I edited my post.

Here are some pictures...

I like that. It will be great to see it built

These are the ones I've weighed and will include hangers where applicable. All years are approximate. I think the first 3 are very good for frames designed for more aggressive riding.

1999 Sintesi Snake - 1724g
1998 Arrow DSS - 1814g
1997 Curtis RaceLite24 Prototype - 2041g
2001 Curtis SuperX - 2812g

I've got a Brodie Sovereign 18'' from '95 and its 1715gs.

Here are the weight for the rest of the sizes for this model.

Wow, the quoted is the same as what you measured.
That's not normal for bike manufacturers

But I think Brodie is not a normal manufacturer…

Also is among the few to quote on his catalogues the weight of his frames.

I am just curious to see if you one can make a lighter MTB steel frame at the same size from that time (mid 90s). Maybe a Dekerf?

Stick a thread in chat, weenies isn't supposed to be for chat, just lists.
