True, but my Lightning is plenty quick around corners and stiff enough for me. It doesn't handle as quick as my previous bike which had track geo, but I think track geometry is overrated for use on the road anyway. The Lightning's BB is high enough for FG riding, it's stupid light (which you definitely notice) with the right wheels and some WW components and it's stable enough to be comfortable. Shame it's being discontinued. Now I will definitely be more careful with mine.
