With skinny tires, do you have a lot of close calls where your bike drifts? I had that happen to me on my Jamis Citizen 2 when going down hill and going over some dirt. The tires on the bike are Panaracer Tour 700x38c. Also when going down hill, do you get nervous about your brakes? I felt a lot safer on my mountain bike at higher speeds (I had Cantilever brakes) versus my Citizen 2 that has V-brakes. I don't plan on riding in the street (Too many bad drivers in FL) and the areas that I'll ride will be parks and trails found in a recreation guide. I guess for a versatile bike, maybe I should go back to a mountain bike (I had sold my Trek Mountain Track for the Jamis because I wanted a more comfortable riding position but after riding the comfort bike, I found myself missing the mountain bike!)? I just ride for recreation and only ride for like an hour.
