Yeah, did have a deda stem on there that creaked every now an then. My bars at the moment are Pro PLT (not the vibe)...they're crazy noodly. Uphill sprint in drops I can definitely feel the bars flex. Even just standing over the bike and using your arms they flex a lot! Vibe bars will probably be my last upgrade. I'm on Flo30s, back doesn't seem to be having any brake rub which is good (but I do run them slightly more open than front) =D
Yeah, it does not move at all. The BB area is gigantic compared to the HiMod. Outfit it with a pro-vibe stem/bar combo with a decent set of wheels and you have a good "muscle car" bike to play with.
