Re:
It rides like a Moots style soft-tail but with rigid forks. The rear end works well, although I had to swap the bumper for a newer one to ride as the green was too soft and old and I'm too fat and old. The stem, however, is true to it's name and flexes (mainly side to side but that is because of my power, honest!)
Because of the amount of steel I've used in this bike if feels reassuringly solid, just not stiff. Comfy, but not performance focused.
In all, it's a bit like me:Old, unusual, at one time cutting edge but now a bit funny looking, solid, a bit rattley, expensive to run, high maintenance but a lot of fun on sunny days.

Re: Re:
If you are going to abuse the 'masses' you could at least get your spelling right. :roll:
Intolerance above aside, lovely looking build. Got my vote.

Re: Re:
Maybe lots of us(RBers) are too old and maybe too fat too.i have two priflex from 91 and to find the bushes can be a nightmare. I found some in its bag, NOS. But they didn't work well. In my builds i use the cane creek ones for the seatposts. They need a little of work to fit in the rear arm but they are practically identical to the originals and you can find from extrasoft to firm ones.

Speedplay Frogs. This thing is incredible in the flesh, looks like new, it would of course be better with the Browning BEAST transmission that was destined for it though, imho, winky smiley. x.
