When I built this up last year, I was expecting a harsh, stiff ride because the chainstays are shorter than the last two previous bikes (De Rosa Merak, Ridley Noah) I had ridden. Surprisingly, the ride was the complete opposite even with the heavy H+S Archetype wheelset. The more I ride this, the more I feel it really is the best of both worlds when compared to the last two previous builds. Handles great, rides comfortably smooth for a frameset with its shortened chainstays but push up the cadence, responsive yet stable and again, comfortable.
