it did weigh a bit, but it was always going to I guess. It felt quite lively to ride, quite flexy, short chainstays
I think a lot of it comes down to having a 'utility' bike that wasn't actually very useful day-to-day. i.e. it was a bit posh to be a daily, the general vibe was incongruous with where i'm currently at in lots of ways, having tried 650b on a couple of bikes I think I prefer either a bigger or smaller wheel
also some build issues / omissions that were sort of silly for a 'utility' bike.
that said if I were to do a framebuilding course, I'd probably set out to build something very similar but with a few tweaks....
How come? Because of the weight mainly? I like the look of it
