The suspension on mine had already been softened some time before I bought it. The rear shock wears a black spring now, instead of the original yellow. I think it suits my weight ok though, since it feels softer/more supple than my Strada was. Just needs a refresh now, since it's leaking front & rear. I aim to have the frame freshly powder coated/engine serviced & cleaned/pipes & fasteners polished etc. (Then the search is on for some mint carbon cans). I've just ordered one of these Abba stands - so work should begin at the weekend. (Now, how do I tell my sister I'm soon gonna colonize her garage!?) |
