Big difference in sprinting and ascending. Fitment felt cramped and short compared to today's med sized frame and accompanying contemporary geometry. This med Psycle Werks could easily be a size small in today's standard. The narrow bar was the most striking difference compounded by the odd sweep and bend of the Ritchey 680mm riser bar. Funky and twitchy steering at speed. The same cramped and short feeling was a fun factor on the descents especially when you need to change direction quickly. It was a short learning curve for me to descend with it. Very intuitive and fun. Cool retro addition to my stable for sure. |
