Hi Chris, it handles well enough to get the footrest down. It was advertised as "built like a bridge" as per Charles' post, each tube has a pressed and wedged lug no welding or brazing and was guaranteed for life! You can't see in the photo but front spring is a C shaped leaf spring wrapped around rubber block for rebound damping. Keith.

Fully triangulated frame. Cannot flex, Very rigid.. Cotton and the Flying Squirrel Scotts used a similar principle. Nev

Nice, very similar to Meeten's record breaker we have at Brooklands :-)
