Well the frame itself is 13. The RF bashgaurd is solid metal and maybe 2-3 lbs. 729 rims with Saint cranks and that WTB seat is a lot. Plus the DH Timberwolf tires puts it up pretty high. Plus the DH tubes and the 07 888. It's hard to lift when my arms are fully extended like when I put it on the lift. Confused
You have a hard time lifting 50 lbs?

The RF bash is actually pretty light. I'm thinking more like 47ish, my normal RMX weighed 45 with light tires.
