I don't know anything about MEC. How do you like it? You have plenty of experience on steel and aluminum bikes. How does this compare? Judging from the short wheelbase, it looks like this bike is intended to be sporty, to give the feel and liveliness of a racing bike. Also, since you are posting on the C&V section, you may not get that much response whether this is good, bad or ugly since most here are not riding carbon fiber bikes although some have one or more in their quiver.

It looks good to me. I have my preferences of what I like a bike to look like (Jack Taylor. Jeffery Bock), but when I ride, I don't see the bike and my dislike of, for instance, forks that are straight or four pin cranks, no longer factor into how it rides.

So, how do you like it? How does it ride?
