Quoted message said:I believe Jess Riegel (hope I spelled that last name right) traded in
his Summit Frame for a pink Bedford frame
Yeah, I did. It's fun having a different frame, but don't expect
amazing wieght differences. Bedford is lighter, but it's not a huge
amount. I think psychologically it will seem lighter, cause it's new
and not a Summit.
They are plenty strong, you can abuse them with 7 stairs and up.
Darren's frames fit a KH wheelset just fine. Make sure to take the
little metal rings off of the bearings first.
His frames do take a different size seatpost, 22.2. So you gotta change
something- new seatpost, new seat. Best solution is probably to get a
GB4 universal seatpost. It's 22.2, and will fit Kh configuration, or
miyata. It has a nice little angle to it, which the miyata seatposts
don't have. Plus, it's pretty strong.
You should go for it if you've got some extra money you want to use to
make your ride sweeter. If you don't have the money for it, then you
should probably just stick with the summit. Remember, you can always
paint the summit. Or, an even easier way is to get a whole buncha
stickers (hopefully free) and cover the entire thing. It will give a
whole new look, and is removeable.
Good luck.

p.s. And yes, you spelled my last name right 🙂 You're one of the few.

I have nothing important to say at this time. But I will say that
college applications are not fun, and SATs still suck.
