Well, different strokes, I guess. My Bleriot, on the whole, feels MUCH nicer than my former pure road bike with 23's at 100+ psi. This was one of my goals, and it's why I'm loving this bike so much. I decided to go with the max pressure initially because I was concerned about rolling resistance/increase in effort while I am working to regain some level of fitness. That gain is happening. Meanwhile, the bike feels smooth and just plain great, so I see no need to change anything right now. Crossing between two (of the many) bicycle cultures is interesting and I'm learning that I can and will take what I want of each (i.e. STI levers on my Riv). There's an interesting post on Lovely Bicycle! that sort of illustrates this topic (but don't go there now, you won't see that post because of a problem with Blogger). It's about the author's first training ride (on a Riv) with some hardcore racers. Cheers, Steve
