absolute codswallop dude.
the frame alone is noticeable, plus you have pretty much every other part of the bike changed when looking at a post 2017 bike they ride like two different brands.

We were taking about the difference between an lwb and swb only, not the components. The difference is actually 30mm, and it wasn’t even done to improve the handling, it was because they redesigned the front section using a different construction method. I honestly don’t notice the difference between the two, altho tbh I don’t see many swb models these days.

No they don’t. What’s the difference, 25mm? It’s bullshit. You’d make that up by moving the saddle. There’s so much nonsense written about bicycle geometry. I’ve ridden literally hundreds of Brommies over the years, I’ve ridden and raced bikes with all manner of angles and wheelbases and it’s largely bollocks.
