Guys,

My GSA is really new, and I'm new to it. All my other bikes are road bikes. One thing I've noticed with the GSA compared to the roadies is that it has a hell of a lot of frame flex.

To illustrate what I mean, last night on my way home, sitting at about 120 on the motorway straight ahead, give the bars a wiggle, and the whole bike flexes, like a wave of motion runs down the bike (like a SIN wave running down the bike), the bike was in ESA Sport - 1 up. If I did this on a  roadie, the bike would not flex but go into alternate leans.

Is this normal for a GSA??

It's a bit disconcerting. Doesn't freak me out, but feels like it shouldn't be happening
