How does the QB handle on pavement compared to the Ram, or to the Roadeo? On dirt compared to a good NORBA rigid MTB?
When I first took the '03 out on dirt this morning it felt, in comparison to the Fargo, too "upright" in the front -- the front end seemed too ready to "plow" in sandy spots; and this not merely because of the 28.5 mm, 55 psi tire. But after 10 miles on this dirt, it started to feel much more natural. Chauncey is, God willing, making me a split between the F and the '03: slightly slacker in front than a road bike is.
