yeah, i am starting to realize that i am not super-fond of track geometry for street riding. i realize the steamroller's geometry isn't as severe as true track frames, but it is also not as relaxed as a road or cross bike. the overall geometry and fork rake make the bike a totally different feeling ride than my other 3 bikes.

and more specifically, the difference in handling is very real and noticeable. it looks like there is some confusion above about the physics of it all, and as a result, still some confusion for me. Kayce said that the further one's hands are from steering tube, the more amplified small movements will be, whereas keatonandrew said the CLOSER one's hands, the more twitchy.

i didnt buy the 2011 steamroller with mustache bars, mine came with drops. anyways, just hoping to see if there was a way to remedy this, or if ultimately the frame wasn't ever really going to feel solid with the type of riding i do. I certainly don't have too short of a stem, if anything maybe a hair long (110mm).
