See this thread. Apparently nobody else thought much of the article I posted... but I still think we can all benefit from practicing "seeing with our whole eyes."
+1 to what Lisa said about fit and practice.
And then there's just adaptation. When I first built up my race bike years ago, it felt really twitchy to me. All I'd ridden before were a long-wheelbase, shallow angled tourer, and sport-tourers before that. The new bike fit me beautifully - custom frame and carefully chosen components - but I still had to get used to the nimbler handling. It didn't take long.
