I've heard they are a bit flexy. Didn't know if that was internet wisdom or truth.

I did one of these up last year and riding it was certainly an experience, so flexy you could turn corners by flexing the frame without turning the bars !!!

I lifted one once, way too heavy

Most of that was probably the Dawes forks.

Most of that was probably the Dawes forks.

no it was definitely the frame, think it was made out of half a tonne of sea sponges

Most of that was probably the Dawes forks.

Yeah maybe that should be replaced with a sus fork

i squeezed a yellow neon girvin flexstem on it for extra flex just in case anyone didnt think it was as famously flexy enough for good measure

How I got it.. I swapped the saddle and tyres.

Why, that Halfords girls bike special looked plush, I'd have rocked it..... j/k but how do you find your choice, comfy? Looks pretty lightweight, to offset the fork?

 

[clivefish1]

Yup.. Lightweight.. I'm happy with that.. Ideally I'll pick up an old Flite for it.

 

[clivefish1]

Or this.

 

[clivefish1]

I could use this saddle..
