I do remember reading somewhere that the Imperial frame has a higher strength/stiffness to weight ratio than almost any road frame out there. That says a lot right there. My Imperial SL is super nimble, they can be built heavy but it's the components on the bike, not the frame.

grrrrr

well... it is a Super Light, is it not?

ummm... the SL is for Seth Lolli, not Super Light.

i'm hoping this is a joke between Pip3r and Seth. just don't want to confuse the other monkies in the zoo.

 

[Pip3r]

Where's Minichase?

He's still trying to forget the fact that he rode a Balfa with a Monster T and liked it.

there is no reason to ever forget that experience. i rode a balfa w/ a shiver and it was pure heaven. 3.0 gazza goodness rollin on the front and a 24" 2.6 on the rear - that beast was INSANE!!!!!

Doc Ftw!!!

 

[WestCoastHucker]

eh you're wrong.

i know that i'm not. had something to do with improperly made seattubes. something to the effect of the holes being off center in the tube itself. i remember clearly that it was even caused by the bike falling onto a ladder while being ridden. there were pictures and everything...

either way, there was only the one case that made it here to the intrawebs. maybe dw could actually clear up the story for us...

for the record, i'm not trying to bash anyone. the bikes kick ass and really are bombproof, but sh!t does happen..
