Oh yeah, best feeling, makes the frame feel secure and trustworthy, no doubt.

That was the only thing the builder was willing to do. Probably because there's no welding required so it's quick and easy.

Over the last 30 odd years I have seen every style of frame crack.
Personally I don't like a super stiff rear end. Hurts too much. Now, that don't mean I like flexy ass frames.

That's not really what I'm talking about on here but like I said in my original post, tube ss/cs vs plate ss/cs and wish bone etc, and the fact that I couldn't get what I wanted done on the frame is what bothered me.
Fair enough everyone to their own, I dig the solid rear end's personally.

Yeah that's a little too lazy but I'm guessing it could be stronger.
