>>1207604According to Heine a well built bike will "plane" or vibrate and flex in a way that supports the riders pedaling effort. So to him it is a Fred myth that stiffer bikes are better. See:

>>1207689Here is a pic of the 1993 Waterford 1200 roadie the most beautiful bike but the one I like to the ride the least lately because of its harsh 23 mm tires. The max it can take it are 25 mm probably. Eventually I will ditch the Waterford and try to trade it for something else. I will probably move to Staten Island soon, so I may trade it for a fixie eventually.
