Frame Weights

[SilverLake250R]

I had a bunch of frames, so I thought it would be cool to weigh them accurately and get an idea of how they compare. I used a shipping scale at work, so they should be good numbers. Could be slightly off due to powdercoat, but these are real good numbers.

OEM '86 - 37lbs
OEM '87 - 38lbs
LSR Baja - 45lbs
LSR Titanium - 18lbs
LRD Aluminum - 32lbs

I have a Roll chassis, but I just built it last winter and it does not need to be torn down, but I am curious where that stands, probably at least 45 lbs. I would be interested to see a good weight measurement of a standard LSR MX frame as well as a Laeger Narrow CR500 vs a Walsh Narrow CR500.

Edit: dtowndiesel weighed the LSR Ti frame on his bathroom scale at 17.6 lbs. He weighed the exact same '87 I weighed at 36.8 lbs. Based on the fact that I weighed the '87 on a certified scale, the LSR Ti should be just a hair over 18 lbs.

Really surprised at some of the weights especially the baja frame. Is it thicker wall tube or just extra gussets? Also do you have these frames now if so lets see some pics of the ti frame.

That is the only one that is/was not mine. It is dtowndiesel's. It is a really sweet frame... he has an old thread on here with pics of it, but I will post a couple.

Weighed my bare LRD aluminum frame at 26.8 lbs and bare subframe at 4.7 lbs = 31.5 lbs total. A new build is in the works.
