I'd like to ride one of those. Mine is the standard dropout '88 Crit with 74.25 angle. There is absolutely no flex when you stomp on it. Last season I rode into a 1/2mi sprint on a casual roll...and on a boardwalk...the bike accelerated to 32mph in a blink, the feel was amazing but the boardwalk made it difficult to see anything but a blur. The ride is firm as what one could expect from a hardcore performance bike. Pure criterium and taken to another level in it's day.
