10lbs about.

Dual 110 Full core eagles, Inward Fork .120 wall, Alex reinforcements, Pro Mod, Rad V1s, Griswalds, or ODIs...pretty much it.

I own SR.
Anyone saying anything less than 7lbs. or more than 15lbs. should probably check their scales.

10.5lbs. Full PROTO. Bulletproof. Wouldn't change anything.
 
wow 10.5 isnt to bad man ive ran setups about that weight with not near that quality cant wait for the decks man, i know you hate these questions but does the deck way something along the lines of a pro deck with pirate reinforcements?, im all for heavy bars and forks but really heavy decks suck bad
 
^ really? i said heavy bars and forks are fine, but with decks its a monuverability issue, with forks and bars its mostly just weight you pick up, but when im whipping stuff around all day it should be that heavy

I hate this weight freak business haha. Its a joke. So much sh!t on SR about weight right now. Whats wrong with light parts? As long as a scooter is strong enough to last a decent amount of time, who really gives a fnck about people tryin to keep the weight down?

Now people who take "lightweight" too far and break their balls, those are weight freaks.

Its all about keeping it as light as possible while still maintaining the strength necessary to withstand your daily riding.

edit: by breaking their balls I meant eating sh!t when their scooter crumbles cause of the "weight saving" holes drilled everywhere on their scooter.

THANK YOU. Don't make your scooter parts heavier if it doesn't make it stronger. haha, I don't know if anybody remembers Allen Gett's scooter from the TIC comp in 2007. He drilled holes everywhere in his deck. Along the sides, on his bars, he carved out his headtube, everything. It was by far the lightest scooter I've ever felt. He broke it doing tricks into the foam pit in a couple hours...
