Thanks - glad you like it! I haven't really ridden it that far yet but it seems very lively and responsive. Though saying that the ride on a stock twenty is pretty good too. My first ride was a bit hairy so I increased the angle of the stem. It felt very 'tiller' like and unstable but just a few degrees and an inch or so height added to the bar and it made all the difference...
