the cage will protect me

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

nope, but if i get all that pre cgae then i reckon 810 isnt out of the question, which if it turns out to be correct, i will drill the shite out of it to get to 799

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
