After riding Glynns bike with a 50mm stem, I have been on Chain Reaction looking for a replacement. Hopefully this will cure the understeer problem - Jack mentioned that I was working hard on the bends whilst we were on our Wales day out.
This bike is intended to give me a bit of comfort on the long days out and to make up for my lack of talent on the downhills. Like Glynn says - it does just that.
Now if only I could make it lighter...............
