I am looking to build a light 29'er full-suspension bike. Does anyone know the weights (in medium) for the following frames:

Turner Sultan
Niner Rip9
Niner Jet9
GF Superfly100
Lenz Leviathan 29x4.0
Santa Cruz Tallboy

Thanks!

A large orange Tallboy weighed in at 2640g including shock, seat clamp, derailleur hanger and bottle cage bolts. Can weigh a RIP9, but not sure what size it is. It's not exactly light though, the Jet9 sounds more like what you want. Haven't got any of them in at the shop I work at yet.

My XXL Leviathan frame weighs 6.1lbs with everything on it. I would think a medium would be in the 4.7 to 5lb range.

Got an opportunity to weigh another large Tallboy, this time in the nude carbon finish, 2280g. That orange paint weighs a lot!

Jet9 is not light.

Mine (old version) size L in white was 2.8+kg
My previous Fisher 292 was lighter.

competitivecyclist.com has accurate weights for some of those. They also stock Ventana El Rey's.
