'04 5500 and the 5900. The 5500 I couldn't even feel the road at all. Didn't like it. I learned the what the term "dead" refers to on carbon bikes. Blah. No energy at all contained in the bike did I sense. I rode five feet on the 5900 and stopped. I wondered where the bike was. It was so freaking light -- or felt so -- that it took a bit for me to sense my efforts working the thing. It was amazing. So far apart from the 5500 I couldn't believe it. Felt like if I knew what I was doing, I'd be a bullet on the thing. 5900 has the ugliest paint I've ever seen. I'll probably be buying a titanium something very soon. If I can get me back to Arizona (stupid career) or another mountainy area, I will buy me a 5900 to go along with my titanium something. Post Extras
