going to get a price on monday, should be a week or so after that hopefully

corsa120, i cant afford a nova now, and the cage will add rigidity and only 25kg

i'm aiming for 850
which i think is a resonable and acheivable weight

you should manage 800 with drill and grinder easily, but the crash bar will have to come off for that magic last kilo
