@Mack- Wow that's great to hear. At 6'7'' that's longer than me. The stiffness of the Bridge Club is nice when loaded down but it's not something I look for in a frame. The Lighting Bolt will flex and rides really nice. It's nice to hear that you have the Juan Martin bar. I've been using it on my Trucker and really like it. Thanks for the points of reference!
@Joe- You are dead correct. @Eric- I saw the ad. That's a great looking bike! I'm really looking to build a frame up. I think I enjoy tinker with bike as much as riding them. Good luck with your sale!
