Great advice Flip and very clean bike! Impressed...

This is a very important point imo. Changing the suspension on a bike to make it corner better, may not make it more comfortable/ composed to ride leisurely down bumpy roads & lanes.

Its really important to get across to the supplier how you want your bike to ride like after the suspension has been upgraded/changed. Otherwise you might find it turns on rails but is bone hard and that might not have be the desired result!
