We bought a new Paketa this year. We used his standard sizing which works for us, but he can easily do a custom build. We found a significant difference between the new bike and our old Bilenky. The Paketa feels like Ti but maybe takes those traits a step further. It has a very damp feel, yet still retains a springy feel. Unfortunately, I think in our case, there are other issues at play. For one, we have carbon bars on the new bike, aluminum on the old. But on our very first ride, my stoker/wife, commented several times at how much more comfortable it was. I think this is significant because, although she is pretty fit, she is not a long-time accomplished rider.

Just another $.02 .
