Yes, according to Magnificent 7, it produced a good-riding bicycle.

Jon said Aelle was 0.8 mm wall thickness. Reynolds straight gauge (531 steel) wall thickness was 1.0 mm. Stiffness of the Aelle was 36% less than for Reynolds straight gauge, as used in the first generation of the Super Course. No idea of the comparison between finished bicycles of Aelle and Reynolds straight.
