^^ Have a ride or two on your local quiet roads and judge based on that. Nowt wrong with spinning down hills once you've ground up them IMO, will help your suppleness. Don't ride brakeless though, that way you can control it easier whilst getting used to it.
^ Not tried Crumpler, have a Timbuk2 and it's nice enough, have to pad the back out with a hoody or something if carrying lumpy stuff.
