The gap is intentional, as it was made as the Pave bike.... so bigger clearance, and yes it has plush flex in the rougher stuff, but goes like stink on the smooth!!
If I tried I think I could get the weight down to about 6.1kg without too much effort, but right now she is very happy....
I do love it without the stickers... its hot!!!
photo was taken (AT) f1.8 so there is very little DOF! so that makes it look purty...
