Bike is good. Shimmy is really a non-issue in practice. Doesn't happen on its own, even under loaded descents. Handling otherwise is great.
Long distances feel quite comfortable. Went into Germany today, as part of a 200k loop. Gearing is actually pretty good for road riding. Could use a slightly bigger cassette, or I could just get quicker.
