Huh,
you are skinny. You can have too wide as well as too thin.
I suggest calling Wallbike just to see what they suggest.
You just might need something narrower than the 170mm
of the Flyer. If you do, the Conquest is 160mm and has springs.

You might consider the Ti railed B17. That would
soften the bumps without the weight penalty. Of course,
it will do an even better job at softening your wallet.
