I couldn't get any suspension (that I noticed) from the Flyer I owned. Is there a secret to setting it up? I do recall that, because of the short rails, I had to buy a new seatpost with a lot of setback (Thompson, perhaps?). Could this have been the reason that springs weren't compressing? I say: No, the Flyer doesn´t give you ’suspension’; it dampens vibration. It is very firm and feels like a normal B17 except for that which is a good thing touring or on trail/bad roads but otherwise not noticeable. Olof Stroh Uppsala Sweden Two B17s, two Flyers and one B66Champion (old model with B17/Flyer-shaped leather but double rails and same springs as the Flyer, used on my Heron Touring with bars level with saddle).

However, I'm wondering if anyone uses the B-17 Flyer on a dropbar touring bike where the bars are level or 1" higher than the saddle. Enlighten me!
