That frame has GREAT feel. Comfortable on rough road and very snappy out of the saddle. I had one that I had to let go... one size too big had me stretched out too far even with a shorter stem.
Funny because that was my exact impression as well. Granted the ride was not long but the ride felt super stable but quick. When I stood and pedal it shot forward and seemed to hold its line very well even when swinging the bike back an forth under me, in my "pseudo sprint". Hmmmm....
