I like the Flyer, but I thinking now that I may bottom out the springs?
You won't bottom them out. I weigh somewhere around 170-180lbs and have a B67 (sprung B72) on my Superbe. I can feel the springs give _slightly_ when I put my entire weight on them. They don't give any fine suspension, but they do take the edge off the large bumps. Plus, I suspect they'd look cool on that sort of bike.
