Cool review. I am a Lambert fan from way back.

Of course it's a different year/model from my own, but the "stiff steel frame and mushy aluminum fork" sounds completely ass-backwards to me. My Lambert frame (24") is pretty dang flexy, though I never actually used the aluminum 'death fork' that came with it on the side, since it was noticeably heavier than the replacement steel fork that was on the bike when I got it. I now wish I'd tried it at some point before it was lost to the four winds; every other aluminum fork I've ridden has been quite stiff and buzzy. And lighter.

I guess now I have to seek out an original 24" Viscount Aerospace to do a side-by-side test.
