[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 33215, member: 58"] Does the bike handle OK on the road and absorb the bumps with no problems. If so and you are only worried about passing further MOT's then don't worry. See: [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18146326[/url] Your latest MOT may well be the last the Comet will have to pass if it really goes ahead and there is no u-turn. With regard to the rear suspension, when I put my C rapide on the road with standard rear suspension / seat stays I always thought the rear end was to hard and lacked movement. When I fitted a rear luggage carrier system that also supported the rear of the seat thus removing the seat stays, the rear suspension came alive, moved a lot more and is a lot comfy to sit on.
