The Centurion is VERY nice but the Witcomb is SPECIAL as well as UNIQUE. My vote is for the Witcomb.
I suppose I am more adaptable. Pedal strike? I remember not to pedal through turns. Toe overlap? I just slow down and turn differently. I know those are deal breakers for some, but I barely notice them. Do you think you can change your habits on the Witcomb? I 650b-ified a bike but it didn't work out well because of the handling. I wish I had a bike like your Witcomb.
