^ exactly. thats why i only ride buffs. ive bent 4 crossbars and one steering column lasted me more than 2 years before it started to crack right above the clamp.
well what wall size are the new ones? The old ones had a .120 oversized wall (pretty sure atleast). If they brought it down to standard, it'll be weaker i think? If the same wall, it'd be stronger but heavy as balls? Maybe its an in between who knows.
edit: don't take all my word for this. I don't want it to sound like im giving advice for something im not totally 100 percent sure on.
