[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 45452, member: 2708"] My sense from hefting itand looking at wall thicknesses was, yes it is very strong. It is not light however, it felt considerably heavier than my Stainless UFM and RFM.. Terry and Fritz Egli Jr. have left a good amount of wall thickness everywhere. Made from 6061 billet there are no cast pieces or welds to reduce strength. As far as strength and rgidity of these parts go, it looks like overkill if anything. To maintain that level of rigidity through to the wheels, the frame pieces just need more connecting them than one tight 3/8" bolt and one loose enough to slide 3/8" bolt. It may be that there are plans to add something there as this is a prototype. The seat support is also missing, no doubt there are plans for that. Glen. [/QUOTE]
