How is the steering supposed tyo be on these Ironmans? This one seems to want to flop over, like it really wants to dig into a corner to the point that I wouldn't want to ride no-handed. Seems to want to corner moreso than the Colnago. Even just rolling it along by hand and pushing the saddle the forks want to flop left or right. Is this typical of these?

I can see any bent issues and all looks normal as far as I can tell with the fork and frame. I did put a slightly shorter stem on it tonight and it fits me better now, but it doesn't have a relaxing ride to it.

I still have to tension up the spokes before I venture out of the neighborhood with it, but I'm starting to think it may be an outbound candidate. Oh well, I had such good hopes for it. I'll wait to read any replies before making a decision on it.
