Hello! I'm new here, currently looking to start a rebuild but in order to get the frame shipped I need to know it's dimensions and weight (Google has been tried but no results were found). Does anybody here have this info?

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer

Ben

From lower front of head tube to rear of seat loop is about 57" and max width is about 10". Weight about 26lbs bare. There are key checking dimensions in the manual but they don't scale up accurately.

Thanks Keith! 26lbs is quite a bit lighter than I initially thought, do you know offhand the length and height? Have to know it to get a quote from UPS.

Thanks again,

Ben

Yes it is light, surprised me when I pulled the first one apart. Length is the 57" and max height sat on the lower frame rails to the top of the headtube is 28". Just imagine it sat on the rails with lines dropped from front of headtube and rear of seatloop.

Thanks Keith that is a huge help! Hopefully Google will index this page so the next poor bugger who is looking for the dimensions won't be fumbling around the internet like I was.

Cheers!
