What size and which model ?

Seariders are good but heavy and have limited comforts.

Humber assaults and the mid V ones aren't so good even in the bigger sizes.

i,d first ask you what size you had thought of having.You do hear of people having problems with humber same as you do with other makes yet to be honest i cant remember hearing anyone complaining of structure or tube defects.Maybe there quality control is better than others
