I will say, the welds and tube shaping on this frame are pretty impressive, well exceeded my expectations.

Rides ok too I guess
Wheelworks in Belmont has a Lauf True Grit in the shop...I took it round the block. I can feel the fork sag maybe 5-10mm when I get on, but it is more difficult to feel what the fork is doing when riding...perhaps I was distracted by other details of the bike. Do you find that the action of the leaf springs is noticeable? Or is it just that the fork is less harsh over the course of an otherwise jostling ride?
