I e-mailed Ironhorse, to get some weights and some info on industry purchasing, and they still haven't got back to me, it has been like 3 days or so. Does anyone know how long it usually takes them to reply? I'm really interested in this bike, but I need some more info.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes them to reply? I'm really interested in this bike, but I need some more info. weighed one of the proto frames and it was... 9lbs w/o shock? maybe? can't remember, was a while ago. also that was w/o floater, so that'll be a little bit extra as well. should be able to be set up pretty light if you start changing parts (drop the floater and run a 150x12 hub, lighter fork, e.13 cups, etc). Hope this helps. Posted: Sat Jan 29, 2005 7:28 pm 243 Bomber   Joined: May 10, 2004 Posts: 62 Location: Richland Center, Wisconsin Thanks, that helped me. I have another question, does anybody know the stance kingpin actual weight, Manitou claims it is 7.2 pounds, but even a Boxxer weighs more than that. So is that right or not? thanks alot Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2005 11:56 am dante Burner   Joined: Apr 25, 2003 Posts: 373 243 wrote: Thanks, that helped me.

FYI, weighed an '05 boxxer wc on friday... w/ uncut steerer, plastic wrapping, axle, top crown and plastic display thingy it weighed 6.6lbs.

How is the bike supposed to pedal? To me it looks like it should pedal decent with the Progressive 3 way, and the pivot point looks close to the BB. But anymore info on this would be awesome. Thanks again.

dante Burner   Joined: Apr 25, 2003 Posts: 373 Kumicho proto frame is 8.35lbs on postal scale w/o anything else included (floater, headset, shock, etc). Stance Kingpin is 7.45lbs on postal scale including top crown and axle. **note, the scale read .35lbs with nothing on it, so I don't know whether it wasn't zero'd out (ie, everything would be .35lbs lighter than what it read) or if that was just the minimum that it would read for postal reasons (so those are accurate). I'm guessing the second.
