• The geometry isn't that slack, (well, apart from the rear triangle), look like it's designed for Audax as well as road racing.

    remember in the past, bicycle geometry were usually slacker due to the poor quality of the road (look at Tour De France in the early 20th Century for instance), not sure if it still the case 40-odd years ago thought, I'm just making assumption.

    Well whatever the reason, old road bikes are nicer to ride casually because I find them to have far slower handling. I used to be able to ride along, light up a ciggie and throughly chill out on the way to field to meet my mates up with a bottle of cider.
