Was on the way home from the shops yesterday at a set of lights on a slight downhill, so had the brakes on full. Was tapping my foot (flat pedals) on the left side and noticed that the bottom bracket was being deflected about half an inch to the right.
It is a steel frame, and I know that steel flexes, but I was surprised at how visible it is. I'm not worried, but I was surprised as I wasn't tapping particularly hard. How much flex is normal / expected on a frame?
