I'm not even sure if that was an actual P8 - "Mu" is all it says anywhere on the frame - but I was only allowed to try out this bike around the store, among racks of sporting goods and clothing, on mirror-smooth flooring, at barely-walking speeds. Hardly enough to have it stretch its... wheels, if you will, so I couldn't gauge just how well it rides/handles out in the real world (fun fact: I rode out to the store on my Speed that day! )

Now, it is a well specced bike: SRAM X7 1:1 groupset (if one could call a single derailleur with a matching shifter a "groupset"); double-wall rims, Schwalbe Marathon tires... all bolted to an aluminum frame - all of which would suggest a high "performance" bike.

Judging by looks alone, though, its seatpost/headset configuration appears to be more laid-back compared to that of my Speed D8, the sporting nature of which I'm enjoying very much. Hence the purpose of this thread - to decide whether I should put that Mu up next on my shopping list, or just get it out of my system completely and hold out for something better (i.e. something I'd actually enjoy - a newer Speed, perhaps? If they ever happen to offer one.)
