I get it. I have a couple vintage sleds, and my honest and true favorite is my Schwinn. It rides like a truck, and flex is something that bike has no idea of. The Puch, on the other hand, is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Flexy, noodle-y thing that it is. I've mentioned before, but I did a 300k on that thing, because it "looks" all Rando-ish, and it pretty much cured me of every doing something that silly ever again. I'll never sell any of them, because I'm just that way, but some get ridden more than others, that's for sure.
