Yes Jake,
That was definitely a concern of mine before I got into this project.....I told Rick as long as we can keep the frame 6lbs or less we are good......an '86 Redline RL20II frame weighs 6 pounds so that weight is fine with me......I know that is heavy by 'today's standards' but think about this- how many of these three or four pound frames can last another 15 years? You can still jump all over a '95 frame now without any issues, that's why I'm okay with the weight. Don't get me wrong, I love the new frames, but having to buy a new frame every year or so just seems oddl to me......and thank you, I did have a look at the 250L but I think I am going to stick with the STA just to be safe.
And in your opinion.....or anyone else's opinion here, I am looking at brakes.....I know the sworn setup is Suelo front Fly rear, which I don't mind paying the money for......just want to know if they are that much better than a set of Odyssey Evo 2's on front and rear? Pros and cons of each, aside from weight?
Thanks!
