Road Cycling“It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway
There was one installed on a Lemond I bought on eBay. Very robust and stiff but not light, as has been mentioned.
I don't think you could go wrong as long as light weight isn't paramount to you.
