Did you get the impression that using your cj as a reference was important to the builders, did it help them understand better what you wanted? Aren't you terribly curious to know exactly what kinds of geometry differences there are between these bikes? I know there are many other factors involved, but still, handling and responsiveness seems to be so dependent on certain numbers. I'm pretty sure the longer top tube and slacker seat tube angle on my bike has something to do with my feeling of being more in the bike than on top of it, another aspect besides the handling and responsiveness that I'd like to keep. Sounds like spectrum has it down, but now the cj sounds really tempting too... Post Extras
