cheers! Re the Extralight frame - I know it's 'only' off the shelf and not a custom job like an Indy Fab or Kish for example.... but I like it, it's become a modern classic in my opinion. Ride is lovely. I used to wrestle with a thought that "maybe I should have bought a Seven, or an Independent Fab..." but everytime I rode this I realised - there is nothing about the frame that would make it better (apart from laser-etched graphics instead of decals.......)
