Ha! Isn't it amazing how different the bikes feel? I was also surprised by the difference between my Hunqapiller and Quickbeam, both unloaded. I've settled into a pattern of always leaving my panniers on the Hunqapillar, so the difference "unloaded" is even greater. Yet the difference in time to a destination in negligible in any real world terms. If I meet someone at the trail head 10 miles away, I know it takes me 90 minutes on either bike, so I allow 1:45 for a bit of a cushion. The primary difference isn't actual speed, it's the ride feel and experience.
Love the color! We will have lilacs blooming here in about 3 weeks, so you'd fit right in! Ride with wild abandon!
