lightweight full suspension

[cce]

i have this bounce-based itch that may need to be scratched, and i've toyed with building up the LTS i have

but.... i dont think a 6.75lb frame is quite what i'm after. I'm far too weenie for that

i'm thinking no more than 4in travel, ideally under 6lb including shock, and a functionally sound design

top tips?

Proflex 855 or 856? Can get down to 22lbs for full bike if you are really weenie. Otherwise 26lbs is very easy.

my cannondale delta v polished frame, that happens to be on ebay at the moment

it's a very light frame, my zaskar le with judy sl that i'm building at the moment puts more at the scale than the delta v full suspension.

Santa Cruz Superlight. Or original Heckler with an air shock.

AMP of course, as well.

I got a San andreas down to 24 lbs quite easily with air shocks.

Oh and I have a standard heckler in M if your interested in a project
