Title: does anyone know the typical weight of powder coating on a frame?
Post by: emerbmx on June 03, 2010, 09:00 PM
Anyone know the typical weight of powder coating on a frame?
(I know there will be many variants, such as size of frame, thickness of coat, but typically- what's the weight? 4 ounces? half a pound? )
Many brands appear to advertise their frames lighter than they are. Some point to finish as the discrepancy.
I've certainly weighed a frame once which was heavier than advertised (it never seems to go the other way though  ???

Take your keys out your pocket and that should compensate weight (and take your dustcaps off for maximum launch-ness)  :coolsmiley:
