nothing wrong with either bike on the streets, the leader feels fine, so don't let me sway anyone away from that (esp at their price point), but a guy my size on aluminum just never feels great after a few months. I had the same issue with my cannondale r300 (though moreso, probably the harshest frame I've ever been on).

Mash could fit 32 I bet if I tried to, the 28s were no problem, but I like going fassst, vroom vroom, so i run 24s

@craig: i'll look into that, thanks. I know that romic guy used to build here, didn't know there was a track guy

Just curious, how big are you? Perhaps I'm not feeling the jarring ride of the mash yet, but currently mine feels about as comfortable as any aluminum road bike.
