(speaking as a Bad Boy Disc owner)

Between, say, the Bad Boy and the Road Warrior 500, I could go either way. Maybe the only things I'd consider are the survivability of the 500's carbon fork (I'm talking about nicks & scratches) and the potential bonus of the Bad Boy being disc-ready (if you're into that sort of thing). The suspension seatpost included on the Road Warrior would be nice, though.

I guess it'll come down to the geometry of the frame and how it feels while you're riding. The Bad Boy has a little longer wheelbase and its crank is a little higher, but it feels nimble enough to me (in my LIMITED experience, since I haven't tried a Road Warrior; and with a shorter handlebar stem on my own BB).

If it's possible, try them out back-to-back. If not, I wouldn't worry too much, because they both appear to be pretty equal otherwise.
