I agree that this position is scary, but the worst fright I have experienced was bing on my TT bike going down a hill at nearly the same speeds. when you have the ability to death grip the handlebars, it's one thing. It is an entirely different feeling when you are SO FAR FORWARD (and only using s-bend bars)!!

As to handling, I have to agree. Put those three variables in the same mix and handling will not be the best.

As to the peson who looked at his cycle computer, get one that keeps track of max speed (which is most I believe). One should not become a Darwin Award candidate needing to know his speed...wait until you can concentrate a bit less on the immediate task of staying alive.
