I could deal with a strange bike as long as the leg-bend fit was good. That doesnt mean I'd like the ride, though. Like others, I get so accustomed to my bike that all others feel strange. I continually hammer, cruise and day-tour with my Trek 460. It's race geometry, cramped, but it's light, quick and crisp in response. All other bikes will feel like hybrids or mountain bikes to me when comparing.
