I will be listening to this later, thanks for sharing.
In my own experience I can say that I much prefer a bike that has some flex, I'm sure my low weight means the amount of flex I tolerate in a frame would be another persons wet noodle. However, having built myself a number of frames over the years, mixing tubes trying to fine tune the frame I have come to find that good old standard dimension 1" tubing personally gives me the characteristics I desire in a frame. I believe a little bit of spring is a good thing, in my riding it prevents those dead spots, which I did experience with OS tubing, specifically in a down tube. Too much flex however can be a nightmare so learning about your own riding style can be helpful in finding the right frame.
