I did not think my springs compressed so had someone follow to watch
...turns out they do, noticeably.

I forgot an aside, worthy of another thread. Thus:
Am I alone in finding 50 mm, at least for 700C wheels, a sweet spot for
pavement and loose dirt? The F Freds measure 51 mm with my electronic
caliper, and while I do notice that 51 mm at 17/20 does not float as well,
nor roll as cush, as 15/18 and
Nice looking ride -- that's pretty much how I'd set up a bike for road use.
The Matthews' bar is about even with saddle. And yet you find the springs
do help. I'll have to try another Flyer, some day.
Yesterday's ride on the Matthews, a bit over 25 miles, covered at least 22
miles on dirt, say 3-4

Anecdotally, my stoker noticed an improvement in comfort with a sprung flyer
over a non-sprung but well broken in B-17.
It's hard to say how measurable the suspension is but when you forget to
mention or don't see a bump in time and the stoker says "that wasn't bad", it's
worth having.
