Hey Mark,
Definetly, the air-hardened steel is way stiffer than the heat treated. We have a coupled Speedster and it's a good bit stiffer than the Supremo, I'm sure the couplers have something to do with that too. We also have a Primera demo bike at the local shop which I have ridden and it's nice and stiff too. For smaller teams I don't think the flex is an issue, but for us it is. The Supremo is likely to become a fixed gear, that'll teach her to SPIN!
