I find the bike slightly harder to hang from the workroom wall, than a 26".
I dont have any more info than that as of yet, as it -13C outside and all the trails are under a lot of snow.
I've managed to put my contact points in pretty much exactly the same place as on a 26", and the bars and saddle are'nt nearly as far in from the hubs as I'd expected. So my weight is over the wheels and not between them. Driving me nuts not being able to test ride it though.
Been taking the winterbike on rides outside of town, on small country roads, which are not salted (which causes slush and ice to form). Riding the studded tyres on the compacted snow is really smooth (they is nasty on tarmac), and gives a unbelievable amount of grip. With decent tyres, lights, and clothing it makes for a really nice ride.*
