So what does that frame weigh compared to the current (2004) design I have?

I think it's a tad heavier (the one pictured above) compared to yours. But oh so damn sexy!

I'm sure Dave could make a ligher version of it

I should of bought one when they first came out...

Dunno'?

Ask Casey!

I didn't weigh the frame-only when receiving it.
I haven't weighted it in this complete build-up either... i reckon a scant 14kg.

Swweeett bike! I especially love the bling bling silver highlights throughout to match the custom logos. Drool inducing........

Well i guess Turner mfg. do have chrome foil decals, but Casey was kind enough to mail me a PDF file so i cut them out myselves.

Or take the file to a local signmaker who have a cutplotter and any color of sticky vinyl you like.

As to the polished and hard anodized silver parts?
I already have a bike with Ano Red parts and Ano Blue so the Silver was my next choice.

Some people said build it up completely with Ano Black parts!
Naah... not my Cup O' Tea.

Black parts are already on my lil' GT BMX!
