I'm agreeing with you that's why I said those figures I posted are high.

They must be very old or possibly measured to the fork. The stats on SOL do seem much more realistic.

Of course they do since the Rhody record
is 26lbs. at 39"

Although certainly an anomaly there must be plenty of blues that went 38" and went over 20lb.
