Michael,

Good luck with your new scope...you'll love it. I don't suggest that you
cancel your subscription to the gym just yet. The OTA/fork only weighs 38
pounds...piece of cake. If you really want to build some muscles, however,
go for the 10" at 58 pounds or 12" at 72 pounds. After owning and using one
of these big ones for about a year, I could guarantee that no beach bully
will ever kick sand in your face.
