JT! Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 It's probably becuase it's a slightly different geo and feels different, and different always feels better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah, just the geometry I guess. Although I do go around lifting up mates' bikes and find them physically lighter although they're not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 i understand the geo bit, but i can't see it making up what feel like a realy big difference (i.e my mates 07python compared to my 06, which have a similar spec) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy d Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I don't usually find that, although if their bike is more back/front heavy that feels odd.Seems like I have this phenomenon to look forward to though, about to go from alu to steel frame and teeny trials seat to proper seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cable Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well my bike is quite light at 24lbs, so i dont really tend to notice it.
