Well, the frame is more flexible and forgiving than my big tubed aluminum GT. Can't tell if it's from the double down tubes or the glued and screwed small diameter aluminum. Anyway, I don't think the double downtubes beef up BB stiffness as much as having a monster downtube would've. It sure does look neat though
