    I demoed a Flash Hi-Mod 2, it was indeed light and sadly a little flexy for my liking.

    And the lord said "let there be light".
    Then the electricity company called and said he hadn't paid the bill, so there would be no light until he'd paid his arrears.

    The Scale 899 frame is very slightly lighter yes, but the Lefty fork and the SI cranks make the Flash a lighter bike (the top one at least). They do look very nice.

    My Fuel will still be lighter by the time you've put pedals on though :-)

    See that thread in the 'your bikes' forum for an example on how to go a bit mental with a Flash!
