I have bought a similar if much later model and yeah, I guess I am taking a risk. I am a bigger rider, and will be careful to regularly inspect the area round the hinge on this bike.
I am hoping that the bigger tyres will reduce vibration/shocks on the frame and stress on that weld area.
Cheers all. Let’s remain friendly, civil and courteous to each other on this excellent forum.
I do understand that it WAS directed at you, but it was with disdain, and hatred, that it was said. You're trying to have a discussion, respectfully, and I'm sorry I'm interrupting that. This individual is also attempting to belittle you, and has a history of constantly berating, belittling, and accusing all of the members of this forum of being all the things he accuses others of being. Personally. I was enjoying this discussion, and another, until "it" returned to start the hatred anew. I'll respect you, and the other members here. This racist, xenophobic, nationalistic individual? Not a chance. His unwarranted insults are disgusting, and totally unacceptable. He was most certainly being contemptuous toward YOU, and others in this forum,
