For a few rides, the steering on the road bike will feel a little "twitchy". That was my experience in transitioning from a mountain bike, which I rode mostly on the road, to a relaxed geometry road bike, a Fuji Newest. The feeling of "twitchiness" went away pretty quickly.

Within a couple of years, I bought a Synapse Carbon 5 with similar geometry to the Fuji, and I kept the Fuji as my weekday (after-work rides) bike. The Synapse gets all the weekend and long distance rides. I'm glad I moved to the road bike, and if your experience turns out to be like mine, you'll love the Synapse.
