The Vitus Dural that Lee Alexander used to race on was pretty light, Race Inc's could come up light too and one of the mags did a sub 20lb mini, someone should have details of that  :daumenhoch:

my piranha was fairly light compared to a lot of other cheap bmx's, but i wouldn't have thought it was the lightest compared to the expensive ones of the time.

In BMX Action Bike issue no2

There was a Race Inc that was totally drilled out!

It had hole drilled in the F&F, Bars, Seatpost,seat,Brakes,cranks etc so I reckon that would come in pretty damn light (Race Inc's were light enough to begin with!)

My old PK was the lightest bike I ever had (never weighed it though!)
