Bikes: Cannondale Road Warrior 800 & H400

I tested both. RW seemed closer to a traditional road bike in feel, geometry, lower weight, more precise and/or lighter components, with slightly wider tires than a regular road bike with some tread. Very quiet ride.

BB and BB disc to me felt closer to my recollection of the old (1960s) Schwinn banana bikes--close to the street feel, bigger gestures, heavier, more rugged wheels, better for off-road and city streets than road trips. Great commuter ride if you have a secure spot to keep it. I very much liked the disc model. Initially intrigued by non-reflective paint, but wonder how that can be kept clean and clear of ugly scratches.
