What’s going on with the top tube and seat tube junction on your Trek hardtail?VERY NICE!!! I'm glad I poked my head in here for a minute. I stepped out of the bike forum to talk about bikes on the softball forum.
I've never had the passion for steel bikes, like some folks get (although I wish I had never sold my Lemond Zurich road bike). I'm definitely a fan of carbon. Here's my MTB - hardtail power FTW!!!

No longer being a softball dad has returned me to my former identity as a cyclist, and I'm on a bike 4 days per week pretty consistently. Although I won't return to being a road racer in the way I was before 2005, I've been doing gravel events, and REALLY enjoying them. Here's my current gravel rig after my most recent event...

“Isospeed” flexible connection. It allows a little bit fore-aft flex of the seat tube. You can’t feel it moving when you ride, but it definitely seems to smooth things out a bit. Trek uses this (or a variation of the concept) on a bunch of their bikes.What’s going on with the top tube and seat tube junction on your Trek hardtail?
Not an issue. I’m fortunate to have really good spine/hip flexibility (especially for a 55yo). Those aggressive positions are quite comfortable for me.Good grief! You're leaning so far forward there's no room for the boys!
What bikes are you referring to, or just in general?I have no idea why heavy bikes got so popular.
Wives??I miss my old Redline 102B BMX bike my wife threw out without telling me.

They're those females who gave birth to our daughters, but they usually get in the way afterward.Wives??
