HI Chopper, should not be BOUNCY but firm on the return, could be your old springs are past it tho, glad some one know where I live as it is a nice little town but we do have more than our share of tree huggers and dozy bastards, must be the cotswold influence I think what with marrying your favourite sheep and such, their all into yoga and being green, riding my bike in the town is like taking the Devil to go shopping, with lots of muttering and "oh ars" Ims from that London place.
