What's that supposed to mean though?
Possibly this?
They used to be ok-ish, but the later bikes are just horrible; well-specced in most cases but the frames are awful. Supposedly Reynolds steel, but they're the most unresponsive, heavy, inert things you can get. They never fail to amaze me how badly they handle and just how dead they feel. There's no life, no spring in them at all. I've no idea how they manage to make them like that.

What's that supposed to mean though? That all mass produced far east frames are garbage? We know that's not true. What similarly priced / finished steel frames perform better? Surly? Brother?
The Ridgeback Solo I use every day has been fantastic. Perfect city bike if you like fixed / ss and lock up around town all day.
