Hey wesbmxr, cool handlebar
Coaster, I do a lot of decades and this stopped me buying a new frame when all the new ones had no platform anymore around 2005. Then I decided to try it and I got used to it. Now I ride without and still do a lot of decades. Sometimes my feet hurt, but this could also be caused by my age
.I still think it might be better with a platform, but my custom frame is without and I think I leave it like this. I think it is also personal preference and some feet are more sensitive...I remember Ulrich Kittel saying he stopped doing decades when he switched to frame without a platform after a while because his feet hurt.
