I like the B-17, this bike is set with bars just below the saddle that's the motivation to change out the B-72. I've always used my arms and legs to take up the bumps and I'm not concerned about the weight of the bike, But perhaps my weight, I'm 6'-2" and 230lbs heading for 220 and I want to keep a classic look to the bike. I like the Flyer, but I thinking now that I may bottom out the springs?
