What do you think of long rides on one of these? Are they more appropriate for racing?
Long rides... sure: the larger bikes are what I am familiar with and they had fairly relaxed seat tube angles, good-sized wheelbases and came with CF forks; the 853 steel provides a comfortable and lively ride. The Lemonds that I had were a good compromise between comfort and race as both came from the factory with triple cranks.
