How do you feel about the rear triangle? Coming from my Demo 8 it feels like it doesn't track very well at high speed. I'm also worried about whipping and not landing completely straight... or is that just me being over-careful on a new bike?

Mate i think thats just you the bike is designed for this kind of stuff....have you seen how they test these things !!
It is a very long un-braced chainlike though...Just held the bike rigid in one hand and moved the wheel.. I can actually see the whole rear triangle twisting slightly!!

Well if you think your going to break it then dont get one!! the frame has got to have some flex in it other wise it would just snap completely...

Finally got her very pleased, and what a bike. Totally different from the GT, the cockpit feels much smaller and the bottom bracket feels a lot higher that the GT; manifested in the cranks/pedals feeling 'higher' (like riding an R6 compared to a Bandit) and fook me those bars are hella wide they're gonna take some getting used to.
I was expecting a Saint crankset but more than happy with RF. I love the way it pedals, feels heavier than the GT of course but it's not as heavy as I was expecting, it's so stable. I've had it out on the tarmac only so far. It's typical I'm going away for 2 weeks with work I won't have a chance to ride for a fortnight
The Bicycle Doctor were great and Henry gave me a mass of heli tape so I'll be spending some time prepping it before it goes anywhere.
Thanks to Jeff and Henry @ TBD
