I've got an Independent Fabrications dual slalom frame. I think it's a bit under 4 lbs or there abouts. Pretty rare too.

*SPAM* Anyone wanna buy it?

So. CAL.
Per the Dirt Rag review on the SC Chameleon from a year or so back, the 19"(large) frame wieghed in at 3.9 lbs. Now they have since added a few new gussets, but I doubt the weight went up that much. No to mention that a smaller frame would probably weigh a bit less.

Hey, are you also sponsored by those two chick, because I think that would be pretty dope.
Personally, I want to know what the heck kind of mountain bike team gets sponsered by Marlboro (?!?! - do runners ever get sponsered by cig. companies?), Kinkos, Starbucks... Not one single mountain bike related company. Not even a tire manufacturer. :confused:

Giant STP 1 & 2 (model 2 has disc and v mounts so its probably slightly heavier) are around 4 lbs and from the various Al frames I've seen in that weight range, is probably the strongest with the all the forged bits and OS tubing...

The STP frame and geometry were developed to meet the exacting demands of Giant's legendary Trials and dirt jumping rider Jeff Lenosky. The top end STP 1 features an ALUXX SL butted aluminum frame with extruded bottom bracket yoke for maximum strength and the ability to accomodate wide 2.5" rear tire.
