Thanks to a sprained ankle which has me unable to run and some slow time at work, I was able to get out on my Trek 660 for ~100 miles over the course of two rides this past week. Coming off a few rides on my Chinabomb (carbon everything, disc brakes), it is surprising just how modern the 660 feels with the updated front end, and just how comfortable vintage steel is. The Chinabomb has 25mm tubulars versus 23mm clinchers on the 660 and both bikes have quite a plush ride (tires are Vittoria Corsa G+ on both so a reasonably fair comparison). The tubulars definitely yield better handling but the Trek is just as smooth of a ride even without the extra tire volume and using aluminum handle bars and seatpost.
