    Looks like a bike from the 90s, but in a good sort of way, how does it ride?

    Lol its the only seatpost i havent bent yet !

    I just weighed it on some digital scales came out at 28 pound but that might not be that acurate.

    It rides realy nice but the front end is a little to lite so steep climbs can be an issue but its a dream on the downs real smooth.

    Not sure on the 90's thing though ?
