I am* really excited to see how much different the fit will feel on the CCM. I'm 90% sure that it won't make a difference, since once you're on the bike only the top tube matters. But 10% of me wonders if the whole handling will be different. But if the CCM feels dead, I'm wondering if I'll be able to tell...
Sorry to disappoint you, but I call them like I see them. I've seen a lot of Seville around and never had the desire to ride one, based on what I saw. The geometry is very similar to it's predecessor, which I've ridden (my sister had one) and in my opinion, it would fair poorly next to a Peleton. However, everyone has personal preferences when it comes to ride characteristics, so hopefully it will be to your liking.
Also, if you're not comfortable on a bicycle you will never enjoy it. Having a good fit is a big plus, but I think after your other bicycles, you'll be searching out something a little more responsive.
