OK, that makes sense. I had ridden the Pilot on different days from the Lemonds. I couldn't tell a difference and when I saw the frames side by side I thought they looked the same. I wish I would have ridden them on the same day for a better comparison. Since I'm a dirt-head and like the "slack" angles, perhaps I would have been a bit more comfortable on a Pilot than a Buenos Aires. Part of it was that I wasn't willing to buy a full carbon Pilot, even with my wife's money.

Still, I'm going to keep the Buenos Aires.
