Well, almost 6 weeks after I bought that frame I finally have her built up and ready to go. I went out for a quick spin this afternoon and have a few impressions:
-it's VERY responsive...I'm sure that this is partly due to getting a smaller frame, but very noticeable nonetheless
-I love CF. I probably feel about 50% less vibration from the road than my aluminum bike which makes bumps barely noticeable and the saddle more comfortable.
-good power transfer which translates into much faster accelerating that my Raleigh

I need alot more time in the saddle to evaluate, but am very happy with it so far.

Before anyone suggests, I am not flipping the stem any time soon. I wanted a smaller frame and as a result need the rise (and quite a few carbon spacers) to get to a 3" saddle/bar drop. I can't handle anything more than that right now.
