super light and also super flexy. I had a 70s Alan frame that I liked a lot but left in Tokyo. Almost as a rule I didn't pedal out of saddle, but tried to maintain a smooth cadence and keep my body 'quiet.'
I definitely wouldn't recommend skidding but if you are a careful rider you should be fine for normal riding around. It was a really great cruiser.
