The OCLV was comfortable, predictable, pleasant - like kissing your sister. I felt I could buy it anytime in the next decade and not have missed much. The Tetra was alive, electric, slightly less comfortable but easily close enough, and now I view it as one of my most comfortable CF bikes. So, to summarize, OCLV back then (pre-Madone) was a magic carpet ride and the Tetra was a lot more fun to ride, a perfect blend of comfort and feedback. -------------------- "You never make a gift of Ventoux" Eddie Merckx to Lance Armstrong Post Extras
