Long toptubes are wierd at first.
Shings, if you bought Meddles bike at full retails price it would probably make your eyes water... The quality is throughout the bike, not just the weight. On a side note, what tyre pressures are you running? That's about the biggest factor in park riding as to how your bike feel under you.
I run 110psi for example, I know Meddle is somewhere similar too.
When I last changed my bike I probably shaved a good 5lbs off it, if not more. It was also very different in the geometry. For a good while I couldn't manual it at all, just couldn't get the wheel off the ground. Nowt to do with the weight ;)

if you still ain't sorted a new one by the Creation session feel free to have go on mine. it's an off the shelf job, not too heavy (according to Pickle it's a pretty good weight, i have no idea what heavy or light is)
and it might be up for sale real soon. :daumenhoch: although I'm currently about £400 short of the cash needed to build my 3 amigos frame up the way i'd like it.
also the creation session is all riders welcome, so try everyone's bikes. :daumenhoch:
