Strengths:    Quick acceleration, very responsive for Ti. Nimble steering; very agile. More comfy than any aluminimum.

Weaknesses:    Fast turns are harder to get used to due to short wheelbase. "Undershoots" turns.

Bottom Line:   
Un-naturally stiff for a Ti Rig; but very likeable. Extremeley responsive, due to lateral stiffness. Still soaks up road way better than any aluminum I've ridden. Turns are different due to short wheelbase; kinda like you under-shoot a turn instead of overshooting. This rig would be excellent for short lap criterium racing. Not as comfortable as most wet noodle Ti bikes.
