how does it ride Barney? im keen to try an estay

Sorry for the late reply

I really like the way that they ride. They're very stiff (I've jumped from an Orange C-16R straight to this and the AStars is a lot harsher).

If you're looking for a lightweight bike, then look elsewhere! Mine is almost completely stock (apart from seatpost and saddle), and is hovering somewhere around the 30lb mark. I haven't ridden many bikes that feel quite so solid and well put-together though, and those shortened chainstays really come into their own when I'm winching myself up a hill

The fact that the chainstays extend past the seat tube also mean that the bulk of the frame's weight is directly below the rider and fairly central to the bike, which makes it handle really well too. I absolutely love it, hence the reason I'm now looking for an Al Mega and the elusive Ti Mega to complete my stable!

Here's mine for reference (it's a tiny one):

very nice, the smaller geometry really suits it.
