We just got back from a ride -- 11 miles into a 15 mph headwind w/gusts up to 25 mph.
Then we turned the corner and with a tailwind, got some speed and dashed up a couple mild hills, then added a couple short, steep climbs at the end, just for grins.
The Diva delivers! It's easy to over-control it, esp. between wind gusts, so a light hand is in order. It is very comfortable, stiff, absorbing the shock from the road and dampening it to provide a very smooth ride. It's very responsive as well; sprinting up the hills and even accelerating into the wind was actually quite easy. With each pedal upstroke the bike gained speed.
The top tube is shorter than the Orca's so I am not so stretched out when in the drops, which makes for a more comfortable ride right away. I feel pretty dialed in already, but I'll know better after I rack up some more saddle time. I
this bike!
As for being OCP, well, let's just say that I added to my jersey collection yesterday:
