Bandit,, good looking job on the frame,,, its amazing though how fast steel adds up and how heavy things get,,, Its about time for another guess on frame weight,,, Contest,,, what yall guess

I am betting its over 400 and closer to 457 lbs ,, just my humbol guess,,

I'd agree with the 400lbs, if its 1/8" thick box tube. Shouldn't be much over that, as it sits.
