What am I looking for? It seems to hinge ok...
Fuck me it's heavy though! I can see why people go for the slightest weight reduction and wheel rather than carry them. I can't for the life of me work out what the two 'wheels' on the frame triangle are for though.

is it not so you can wheel it around like this?

Sideway play, if you can, find out if that bike got its hinge replaced recently, the washer between the rear and main triangle should be white, or close enough.
Even if it feel perfect, it always best to replace it after a year as a preventative measure.

Check your rear hinge while you're at it, if you use it 5 days a weeks, you'd need to replace it yearly.
I have to replaced 2 hinges yesterday, and a frame swap because the copper insert bonded to the frame because the customer neglected it since new (2011).
