I have been riding my Specialized Sirrus for about a month now. I think overall it's a decent bike. Economics played a role in what I could afford, and I "picked" this bike over Trek for whatever reason.
I generally ride as hard as I can which comes out to 17mph+ on average. One thing I have never noticed on a bike before, or even thought of, was frame flex. Last week coming off a hill going close to 30 and hitting a turn, I swear I felt some flex which felt odd to me.
Is that normal in an aluminum frame. Is it something I should be concerned about? I'm not worried about breakage, but am now wondering if I married my bike purchase to my riding style.
