Do you want a Land Cruiser or a Ferrari.
They feel different, too.
If you like the feel of road vibration and a a typically overall quicker steering response, you know you won't be happy with a Rando/Endurance bike. On the other hand, who likes riding 23mm tires pumped to 120psi for 200 miles on chipped seal.
I am amazed at the difference between riding 27mm (really 31mm wide) Challenge Parigi-Roubaix pumped to 80 psi vs. other 25mm tires pumped to 100 psi. Of course the narrower tires on fast wheels changes the bike's character profoundly. Is it possible some of the dead feeling attributable to tires? Especially big cheap ones, they kill a ride.
