So, I bought the frame in August of 2008. Finally got it running in Aug 2011.
I have to say I like the ride. The handling feels more relaxed than my Bareknuckle, and I really cannot say if it that much more stiff, but it is light and fast. And it is my first fixed gear in a while. I have been riding single-speeds for a good year and a half.
And I have a Principia road bike too. I got that frame off CRC as well. It is now wearing SRAM Rival and Fulcrum 3s. Compared to the Columbus SLX road bike I had, the difference was huge. The Principia is a weapon. And the steel frame felt so relaxed compared to it (not that that was a bad thing).
Anyone else riding Principias, here? Pics, maybe? (I try to shoot mine, at some point.)
