3/16 tube versus .325 channel
The above speculations seem to suggest that a factory frame made of .190 channel would weigh roughly 550 lbs. Using .325 channel a similiar frame would be roughly 350 heavier and using 3/16 tubing a frame would be roughly 265 lbs heavier.
I think most folks here would agree that a replacement frame should definitely be constructed out of heavier material. There is only an 85 lbs difference between the heavier channel and the tubing. To me this doesn't seem like much of a weight difference to fuss over? So which is better: tubing or channel?
