I took the bike out for a quick spin around the block today and a few thoughts:
1. Paul nailed the geo - it feels like an old friend
2. Richard was bang on when he said the UOS tubes would be stiff. I’m 160lbs and this is a STIFF frame.
3. I’ll probably try some fatter tires and my preferred saddle - Pro Turnix Team - for a proper ride tomorrow
Here’s a pic of that True North, so you can see the geometry similarities

What trail is that? That’s the Santa Monica Mountains? Sullivan?
