Bikes: Merlin Agilis, Trek 1500

Kellogg is probably my front runner - he's close enough that I'd go to him for the fit. I'd be willing to wait. My big issue is that I feel uncomfortable on descents with more than 5% grade. I'm trying to figure out whether it's me being a wuss (probably) or the bike (Merlin Agilis, which is itself a Kellogg design). I love the Merlin, but I wonder if it isn't more of a crit bike than a down hill bomber. Or maybe something like a fork with less rake might do the job.

And sometimes I just like to think about dream bikes for the hell of it.
