Thanks for the info, really helpful. One more question, on the RRD, The e-tech construction is only a pound heavier vs wood and several hundred dollars cheaper (and more durable). Is wood construction enough better to make it worth it? Couldnt I just put the money I save towards a gym membership and lose that pound off my midsection?


The better constructions are definitely worth it! Long term stiffness and durability are better with wood/ltd. E-tech (and similar constructions from other companies) are almost guaranteed to develop soft spots/dents much earlier and with less force.

The flip side of that equation is that the ride is smoother if you're dealing with crazy psycho chop... Very Happy
