Hmm I was/am never good at comparing or describing ride quality ..
Madone 'feels' much lighter (not sure if it is) when climbing esp out of saddle; yet VERY stable at the same time. Stiff. I have done only about 600 miles on it so cant really judge yet. It has a far better ride quality than Fm066. I have no idea what it is.
Fm066 is more comfortable on bad surfaces. And for the given cost which is 1/3rd of Madone I'd say the ride quality is about half as good .. if any of that makes sense.
Internal cables on FM066 is piss easy to set up. Not sleeved but the openings for cables are big with removable stops; I used my cadence magnet. Its easy. I never felt the need of sleeves ..
