Absolutely love it! A good decision for me. I'd been going round in circles for ages before biting the bullet. The Soul frame held against the Privateer was interesting. The rear triangle etc. was a perfect match, the only difference I could see was the top tube was longer by 1 1/2 - 2" and I presume the angle of head tube slightly different?, both to take into acocount the new longer forks.<br /> Soul feels same as bonty but a bit longer, so doesn't front wheel lift on steeps, and the adjustable Revalations get wound down to 100mm for ups, 130mm for downs. Brilliant!</p> <p>No teeth: what forks are you running on the Race?<br /> Mine came with Pace RC35's as the RS's were a nightmare at the time so opted for Pace. I've still got the Privateer's rigids and was wondering which to use.<br /> cheers<br /> Q </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/steel#post-370317 Sat, 16 May 2009 13:37:55 +0000 Rich 370317@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I like my 456, but I've had an Orange Clockwork that was like a soggy noodle, hated the ride, every time I pedalled hard there was so much flex the front mech rubbed on the chain.</p> <p>My favourite bike is aluminium. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/steel#post-370311 Sat, 16 May 2009 13:34:31 +0000 Rich 370311@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Steel is amazing, my Raleigh Lizard is the best bike I've owned, all because of the metal it's made of! </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/steel#post-370282 Sat, 16 May 2009 13:19:02 +0000 Northwind 370282@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I've got a Soul, and it's superb...

Compared to an alloy frame it leaves you feeling a bit less battered due to the bit of give in the frame. The flipside is that it doesn't have the immediate acceleration of a stiff alloy frame and doesn't feel as solid in the steering/up front as my old Cove stiffee. Offroad I genrally prefer the feel of a steel hardtail. I run some lightish stuff on the soul with 2.25" fast rolling tyres and Pike air forks set at 125mm travel, 70mm stem etc. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/steel#post-370051 Sat, 16 May 2009 10:35:52 +0000 enfht 370051@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><em>tubeless/not tubeless</em></p> <p>How so? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/steel#post-370038 Sat, 16 May 2009 10:31:22 +0000 crikey 370038@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Brant has it right; it's all about the lateral stiffness and vertical compliance..... <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_rolleyes.gif" title=":roll:" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p>Given that the feel of a bike is modulated by;<br /> the tyre<br /> the tyre pressure<br /> the tyre type<br /> tubeless/not tubeless<br /> the rim<br /> the spoke pattern<br /> the spoke tension<br /> the hub<br /> the QR/Maxleness<br /> the fork<br /> the fork sag<br /> the fork damping<br /> the fork compression<br /> the fork height<br /> the headset bearings<br /> the length of the head tube<br /> the geometry of the front end of the bike<br /> the stack height<br /> the stem length<br /> the stem angle<br /> the bar length<br /> the riser/non-riserness<br /> the grip width<br /> the grip material<br /> the gloves<br /> ...at the front,and<br /> the tyres<br /> the tyre pressure<br /> the tyre type<br /> tubeless/not tubeless<br /> the rim<br /> the spoke pattern<br /> the spoke tension<br /> the hub<br /> the drive train<br /> the pedals<br /> the cranks<br /> the seatpost<br /> the seat<br /> the shorts<br /> the shoes,</p> <p>Isn't it likely that the amazingness of steel is rather more down to individual perceptions and unconcious desire than the actual material? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/steel#post-369979 Sat, 16 May 2009 10:00:53 +0000 chimptastic 369979@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>My Orange Prestige pro 2008 is awesome.
