Ok so I finally got out on a ride on mine last night. First off, I've been doing all of my riding lately on a 700c-wheeled fixie geared 52X18 with 120 lbs in the tires- so this was a change!

That said I felt pretty comfortable on the bike after a couple of seatpost adjustments, but the tires just felt like total mush with 70lbs in them. I could care less about a soft ride- that's what posting up is for. So I'm in the market for some high-pressure slicks for sure. Fun, fun, fun though. What a wheelie machine (I was conservative about this, what with being clipped in and all).
