I have the newest version of the Optic and recently while working on the bike felt like I noticed a decent bit of lateral flex around the bottom bracket area. Have any other Optic owners noticed any lateral front triangle flex near the BB? Am I in my own head?!

I ride a 2021 Optic C3 in size XL and I haven't noticed any flex, not even while sprinting out of the saddle. On the contrary, I remember being surprised by how stif and solid the bike felt when I first rode it.
