The Short Answer... No.
Unless you feel confident with a power drill and hacksaw.

you could have an engineering company replicate the frame in titanium. but i dont like the cost idea of that! lol.

theres also the option of drilling out additional material from the existing frame but by doing so you really are running the risk of reducing the frames integrity.

another way of solving the issue to a degree is to get down to a gym an weight train on ure legs, lift as much as you can as often as you can with ure legs an in no time ull think the bocks wegh nothing Wink

If your calves don't touch the calf pad, remove it because it isn't needed.  May reduce by a couple of ounces.  Not much, but it adds up over the course of a lot of bounces.

I don't mind the open brackets.  I get to keep an eye on the condition of the nuts and bolts that go through there.

Carbon fibre is the best way to make lighter frames  titanium alloys cost too much.
I've tracked down a couple of places that I'm going check out for just these problem !
Then again I'm making a normal pair anyway !?
