At the end it will be down to the components that you put on it, good light wheels will make it a million times better. Cheap heavy wheels will make it slow. Also, I have another bike with oversize steel frame (731) and I loved it, so I wanted something that would offer similar feelings.

My Brooklyn have oversized steel tubing, yet it have a great balance between stiffness and comfort, the BB area is surprisingly stiff with little flex but noticably more comfortable than an alu frame.
right now I'm trying to sort out the cantis on the new carbon fork on the Gangsta, it's the only last piece that defintely needed improving as the original clusterfork was way too stiff and little rake for my liking (32mm, new fork is 45mm)
