But I appreciate your input about weight over front wheel. I thought that body weight mattered, but what you said makes sense
Keep in mind the titanium model is also substantially lighter than a 6 speed regular Brommie, and that will make it feel more "nimble" to you as well. That may be part of what you are sensing when you ride. I have 2 bikes and one is barely 19 lbs (my pakiT) and I have a Dahon as my beater bike which is 24lbs and switching to the lighter bike always takes me a few moments to adjust.
