I was on my ritchey logic, steel frame and fork. the bike is normally very stable and solid. The wheels are 32 spokes on tubular matrix (semi aero) rims with 53x12 gearing.

Next week, the weather should be better...I'm going to bring my kestrel ems to work and take it out on the same route. I'm going to how the handling compares. with 53x11, I should be able to get to 50 mph without much difficultly.
