Charles Atlas indeed. I've picked up the rear of the frame with no probem,
but the front - even without suspension bits - is heavy, don't think I could
lift it. It took three strong guys (2 on the front, 1 in back) to get the
frame from the trailer to my driveway, it was bare except for the front
suspension, hubs and brakes (which add a lot). I would guess the bare frame
is in the order of 300 lbs.
