I can see that. When you go from one high-quality, well made bicycle to another high-quality well made - and custom - bicycle...I would not be surprised at your statement. I felt the same way going from my stock Seven to my custom Seven. Improved fit...different ride, and yeah...better "connection" to the bike.

And, Mr. SR500...you are SUCH a guy! I was heavily influenced by guys at the start of my riding (even the women who influenced me were more "guy like" in their habits/styles), and consequently, I .. um.. travel light. Tiny Pedros bag. But 90% of the other women I see out there have great big honkin' saddle bags. Like they're going on an expedition. It's a girl thing.
