Chombi: interesting review. Some things about the handling reflect what I experience on the Al Vitus — more brilliant on long strides. I need more attention in traffic and so on. At the moment I only have two frames on the road, so when I feel that I'll be dicing with taxis and squirrels on my way to the levee, river and marsh in the dark or on slippery roads, I choose the Simplon. It would have made a good crit bike. If I wanted another Al classic, I might head for the Alan.
