So on my 56, maybe more like 6oz? Or 5oz? Given that I could/need to
lose 70lb and would still be a clydesdale, I'm not gonna sweat that weight.
Flexibility: well, even if the tubing was flexible, once you add in
that diagonal tube, I don't think it's gonna be that flexible, regardless
of butted or not.... Thing is, I got the Bomba to be a load carrier, not
a planing sprint-machine, so, I'm not sweating it....
If I want something lighter, I'll take the Ram or the Rom.....
