those are cool just horribly flexy.

Let us know what you think of the ride once you've got it finished, not many of these about, I'd be interested.

I don't understand this comment :? ....I find the WCF significantly stiffer than the all steel frames, both TT-Lite and Ritchey WCS, probably on a par with the aluminium Vertex but with more comfort.

They handled well and the frame was stiff but not bone jarring like most Al and carbon frames. I think the Cro-Mo rear triangle helped keep it comfortable. I have a mint condition DBR WCF Vertex bought brand new in 1995 (or 96) which I still take out for the occasional single track ride through forest and jungles. It has everything on it "original" even the tires. It is one of those bikes that does everything right and one cannot find a flaw. Even on long climbs despite its 24 pound weight it feels lighter than most 21 pound bikes.
Will post a pic soon.
