Well I took it out today for a full test. 40 fun and comfortable miles. The bike handled just fine, seems to accelerate well despite the heavy wheels and soaked up the worse sections of road just fine. The best thing was how it really seemed to like speed. Once I got it over 22 mph it seemed to disappear under me. It felt like I was floating yet when I looked at the Garmin In running 25-26 mph. Very nice, ran a sharp 90 degree turn at 24 mph and it just leaned it and took the turn. The comfort on my rough chipseal route was a pleasant surprise. Right now it's running 700 x23 tires instead of my usual 700 x 25 and because of this I'm running 10 psi higher. I would have expected this to make it harsher if anythign. Can't wait for the new wheels and proper sized tires to show up.
About a mile from the end of the ride.
