I borrowed this bike yesterday for a test ride - it fits and climbs really well. On the descents the front end felt light and I almost lost the front wheel on the really steep stuff.
I'm assuming I didn't have enough weight over the front wheel - and I'm used to riding a bigger bike so my position was probably crap.
Is there any other reasons - like the bike is too long / short? Or perhaps it just wasn't set up right for me. I did not get on with the grips and the bars were a bit too high for me.
