The aluminum 29ers are more in the range of 1600-1800 depending on the size. The Fisher, Specialized, and Cannondale are all starting at 1200g in the smaller sizes, and up from there. I don't recall the weight of the Niner frame but they are in production now. I suspect they're a little heavier due to the essentric BB. Scott is rumored to be releasing "the lightest 29er frame ever".

Very cheap, but it's a 456, that isn't the good base to build a race 29er HT, or is it? Edit: just read the mail again, frame should weigh around 1500gr http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FROOCAR456? ... dium=email
