These PDG's are good fast bikes aren't they?
Very stiff frame, you have to really stomp on it to get any flex, but you get back everything you put in (with a little change). If you like pounding big gears and torturing a frame, this is is the one to get. I'm not aware of too many other bikes that use the Tange OS tubing, it's good stuff. I wonder why it wasn't used more?
Excellent balance on those bikes, for some reason it's a really easy bike to do trackstands on. I can't explain it, but I just feel like a professional riding this bike. Still mostly stock for now, definitely a work in progress that might involve a paint job at some point. The factory paint jobs on these bikes were sometimes pretty hideous. Mine is no exception.
