Approximately 1.6 lbs/ft for 4130 chromoly tubing with 1.75" outside diameter/0.95 wall thickness. Photos are in the Spec Boxster Build link above.
A rough estimate of my cage is >50 ft (which was designed for safety, safety, and safety as the top three priorities) which would be a min weight of 80lbs.
I am sure that a cage can be built lighter (smaller diameter tubes, thinner wall thickness, and a simpler design using less material) ... but do you really want to skimp on the cage?
