Think the alu chassis is ideal, with added weight under the gearbox. Or maybe a narrow alu plate as a chassis with larger graphite sidepods so you have a weight in between the alu and graphite chassis, but the heavier parts are more central. Wish I had the tools to make this stuff myself to try it out :-)

Well mine now comes in at 1628 i think. But i have quite a bit of weight added. The Carbon one is 1726 and to be honest i think that was still better the last time i used it. Im still having a play about really.
I think ideally it would be around the 1680 -1700 mark and then i can a little bit if necessary.
Im quite lucky i guess as i work as a design engineer i have have the chace to use the mill lathe etc just a pain at the moment i dont have the time
