That is a nice bike, cool.
Mine has above seat steering. I can tell you that, if anything, I find the steering "twitchy". It turns REALLY fast, with a very low center of gravity. The wheels are smaller in the front, but as far as I know, there are no skinny tires for that size rim. In all, I find the smalle bent front wheel handles bumps and ruts on the road better than my roadie with the skinny tires.
