Looks like a fun ride!
Hmm, I wonder how "different" the bikes would feel.
Can you guys do this thought experiment for me. Suppose you were placed on a bike, and were blindfolded. How would you know if you were on a conventional road bike such as mine, or were on a folder with drop bars? Let's overlook the question of how you are managing to ride while blindfolded . . .
I can honestly say that my Pocket Rocket rides like my road bikes, although it's a little more jittery on a bumpy paved road. But I'd take the Friday over the road bikes on packed gravel.
