I like that seat but I also love shooting downhill at high speeds dialed in with the berms and jumps and those older design bikes are too out of balance with the weight being too top heavy (dangerous) with a higher chance of a bad wreckMy "10 speed"?
"we" rode this style bike for many decades before carbon frames with sloped top tubes and long seats posts provided flex and (some ) comfort.
It remains to be seen if a carbon fork is all that, but I don't expect the new bike to be any more or less painful.

Nice to see you riding Mike! Great exercise, fresh air, and it's fun (till you crash).
I've been into bikes all my life. Was into BMX as a kid, and then road racing briefly. Worked in a few bike shops, including a couple of pro racing shops as a teen. My favorite bike shop gig was for the importer of Coppi bikes from Italy. Got back into road biking with Nancy about 20 years ago.
In 2017 we also got into mountain biking. And before you guys say ... yeah mountain biking in Florida??? You'd be amazed at what old abandoned phosphate mines have been transformed into.
