My TECHNIUM rides nicely! While I ride quite a bit, I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I can't really "feel" the differences between the aluminum framed TECHNIUM and my other steel framed bikes. I've never ridden a carbon fiber framed bike so I can't even comment there.
Anyway, my TECHNIUM is a very smooth, stable ride. It tracks well and I can ride "no handed" without a problem. I have 27 x 1 1/4" wheels with a pair of 32mm tires aired up to 90 psi.
