Looks good! How does it actually ride? Is it a softer ride than a normal road bike?

They are a bit odd and spongy till you get used to them, I am not an enthusiast of the marque, I just wanted to ride something different occasionally and they sell for very little money, it is getting a respray soon in yellow with blue custom made decals, In Blue, made by raybotten@optusnet.com.au the wheels are getting the same treatment, It will look like a stunner, and I think it is about individuality unless you are an elite athlete, then the story changes significantly.

These were cutting edge for their time but were just to unconventional for the sport. They are very functional and comfortable, I like bikes that get a reaction and questions, you will get both in chunks with one of these, they sell for nothing on the net and you will get more looks and comments from one of these than a $5000.00 Colnago that just blends in with the other sheep, I like my traditional Steel Ride but there is still room for eccentricity, try everything (within the Law and moral boundaries) I say.
