The giant thread that started me on my Varsity project. I list the weight of many of the components as I strip them off a donor.

You can hang any components you want on that boat anchor and you will still have a heavy frame constructed of seamed tubing made from mild steel. These frames were designed for ease of manufacture with no thought given to ride quality, and they feel like it.

Talk about throwing good money after bad!
