#morphhc Morph III Handcycle Coming Together in George Reynolds Shop in Derry, NH; Weight Analysis

Here is a look at the new all-aluminum frame of the Morph III prototype. Morph II was an all-steel frame, and it weighs about 60 pounds. This video seeks to analyze what weight we think we can come in with the new aluminum frame.
 
Here's the analysis:
 
  Frame as shown: 15 pounds (not including wheels)
  All bike components: 23 pounds (estimate)
  Gas shocks 4 pounds
 
   TOTAL ....................... 42 pounds *
 
* That's the weight estimate before finishing the seat and adding the footrests. We're hoping we may be able to come in close to 45 pounds. That would be a full 15 pounds less than Morph III.
