I had a DB TG for a short while- it was 105, so maybe it was a Master? Either way, its the same frame as the Expert.
That frame always felt incredibly stiff and not light- so identical to what the review describes.
9/6/9 OS tubing and those stocky stays do exactly what you would expect- make for a stiff ride that is on the heavier side of things.

Between the frame angles, 408mm stays, and lack of flex- it really did noticeably jump when you would first start.
