Wait til MfFTO is back from his honeymoon, I'd be willing to bet he had the seats out on a bathroom scales at some stage ;)

They're very heavy buggers thats for sure!
Especially the mounting frames.
I reckon I shaved at least 15-20kgs from the weight when I switched to lighter frames and seats. Just try shedding that from your person! - You'd have to cut off a leg or something! :lol:
