Seeking stiffness and lightweight
This is kind of a weird thread, but I have a Masi CX right now and like it, but built it with the idea that I'd be touring and commuting on it. In actuality, I find myself taking it on fast rides and bombing along trails on it. I really wish I had something stiffer and lighter.
I was thinking about getting a Colnago World Cup, Santa Cruz Stigmata or a Salsa Chili con Crosso, but have a chance to get a really good deal on a 2009 Gary Fisher Presidio OX Platinum Steel frame and fork.
So my question is if the ride of the Masi annoys me because of it's flex and weight (and the fact that it feels like a tank), would I feel the same way about the Presidio?
