If light-weight is your thing then sub-24lb should be no problem. I've got my SAB at 23.6 and it could easily still lose some.

sub 25lb is pizz easy on one of them!

Just good ol Autosol- took just a few minutes as it was pretty M word anyway.

Not made any progress this week as I have been away with work again. Will be spending most of June away so it could be a while until its finished :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Itching to get out on it
