It is a nice ride -- more laid-back than my other bikes.
Aha, another Atala Gran Prix owner! There can't be too many of us, huh?
It's really interesting, to see that your fork was replaced, as mine had a (literally) broken fork, when I got it. For future readers, I have a thread with pics, called The broken Atala thread.
Maybe there was a known problem, with that run of forks? But it's reassuring, to see that you like the ride, otherwise. I like "laid-back" bikes.
