I have another question about the fake Stridas:

I weight 185lbs and I find (I should be using the past tense as my fake Strida has a broken ball joint that needs to be repaired so I'm not riding it) that when I pedal the seat wiggles side to side a lot. It is not firm. It's not really the seat that is flexing - I've changed out the cheap kids seat that it comes with for a regular rail mount seat I had around from another old bike. It's the large plastic bracket that attaches to the frame with the bands that is doing the flexing.



Do other people have this problem on their fake Stridas? It's been mentioned that there are multiple makers of these fakes, I assume using multiple versions of the parts. Is it possible to swap out a better/less flexy, firmer plastic version of the seat bracket part?
