John, comparisons are difficult because my previous other bikes were standard non OS frames that were a bit smaller. But the 61cm Roadeo doesn't feel noodly at all to me. It's pretty solid on bumpy descents and I'm thankful for that. I wouldn't want it less "solid" feeling when I'm bombing down a mountain descent at 40+ mph. When pedaling it feels great when I'm having a good day and horrible when not. It's doesn't seem to hold me back at all and I'm faster on average with this bike than my previous road bikes. But I sit on the Roadeo much better and can put more effort into the ride as a result. Better position so more power. So, all told, I have no idea how much the Roadeo's materials and construction contribute to its performance and feel. It could be just a better position.
