Dicky DQ Posted February 2, 2015 Share Here's the deal, a mate of mine is selling frames/bikes that are sic, but the dual susser frames look heavy because the rear shock mounting point has a lot of material. However the frames are way light. so the question is, does a heavy looking frame impact your buying decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky DQ Posted February 2, 2015 Share I don't have a pic now, but the photo is not so much the issue as the thought process. To be honest, I probably would not. If it looks heavy to me it must be, not so? and when I am kakking and I see too much bulk on the frame I think damn this this is heavy. Or am I wrong?

Samurai Pizza Cat Posted February 2, 2015 Share It's all about the ride......Yip, I always find it funny to see people lifting a bike to test the weight. Especially AM & trail bikes. I've seen people picking up DH bikes.... Unless you are buying a bike specifically for racing, the weight is secondary to how the bike feels when you ride it. I've owned a sub 11kg trail bike that is rubbish on the climbs and even worse on the descents. To answer the OP's question: Who cares if it looks heavy? As stated above: It's all about the ride.
