49 now, bought one of these two years ago or so and would never go back to DF. I might add a
Big Dummy to my collection of pretty much one at some point (I have a few DF's I may sell but I
am waiting to see if the kids want them).
I went bent because my back was getting stiff (some arthritis but not bad), neck was getting stiff,
and hands were getting numb. All of that is gone on the bent! Yeah, you won't find me in any pace
lines, but aI am a rec rider anyway, so I might as well enjoy what I am riding...
BTW, Greg Peek @ Longbikes is great to work with, and I ended up ordering direct from them to
get an extra-long frame plus custom color, beefier wheels, etc.
