What tire/rim/hub sets are you running on your 950?
Do you find the frame a little on the stiff side for a road bike?
Kind of surprised the market is so soft for these bikes. The quality built into the frames is second to none and they are a dream to ride. The thing almost feels like it was custom fitted/made.
There is a thread in the hybrid forums by a woman who wants a basic hybrid. I threw in my 2 cents that something like this might be a viable alternative for $200 or less, leaving that person with money for other necesities like helmet, pump, shorts, etc...It just seems to make sense to look into used mountain bikes, though there will always be people who want something shiny and new.
I especially like the look of the bullhorn handlebars on that bike.
