I_ache I like the idea of the Bfe – is it ‘solid’ on the rear? I was very close to buying a secondhand one but I waited over a week and then on the day of meeting the seller still hadn’t stripped it down
Its firm but not what I would describe as solid. Its more comfortable and forgiving than my old Evil Sovereign but just as much fun. Its a lot more comfortable than the ’97 Zaskar that I had last summer, that bike hurt. But its not as smooth as the Indy Fab Ti 29r that I have had a go on. Mind you the IF frame did cost somewhere in the region of 10X the BFe so I would expect it to be comfy.
FWIW I’m 15st and 6ft and (when I’m not broken) I like to ride agressively. I’m not the fittest so don’t can’t sprint up the climbs but I am normally on the verge of a big crash when coming back down.
