    I've lost weight, but not that much just yet..........

    I reckon it will be 620kg with me on board.

    i think the crank has proven itself to be quite strong so far.

    it has such a short stroke & being turbo means it is not exactly running f1 revs, so it should cope with 230 hp.

    Frame looks really good; love the chassis leg transitions & is that a 4th mount to the front too?

    Just think of the weight you could loose from the crank giving it a knife edge

    Do you have pictures or spec of proposed steering arms / UJs? Be interested to see how small you dare & how they'll attach to the rack.
