when i tried gabes' bike i was noticeably slower at charges and other situations during the game.
once i got used to it i was fine but i had to put in way too much effort, when you are playing two day tournaments i think having a 50% lighter bike will make a difference. maybe i'm over analysing, but i like overanalysing.
also my bike is easier to carry down the steps at downham.
You borrowed Gabes bike? shakes head
You're also way too tall for Gabes bike.
