Snapdragen--My Classic is a 19"er so I have the smaller front wheel. The Dolce has a regular sized front wheel so I noticed a difference when steering. Kind of like going from a Miata to a "big rig." OK, I'm exaggerating a bit. That, combined with the different hand/body position, make cornering feel different. It might just be that this bike is so much different from my Classic and I need to adjust. At first, it was a bit of work to move the bigger front wheel in corners, know what I mean? The bike didn't feel as agile as my Classic, but then again, it might just be because of the differences I mentioned and the fact that I haven't ridden a true road bike since I was 16. After I got used to the Dolce, I felt like I had good control of the bike, even on the corners. I still love my Classic, though.
