(This is not a disagreement.) FWIW, Grant did a wonderful job of perfecting the handling of my 2 later customs so that they are most stable than the XO-1 was, but, conversely, so that they are in no way at all sluggish to turn in -- I'd say they turn in "as fast" but more predictably; if that is not a contradiction in terms. I did find the handling of the Ram a wee bit sedate for my tastes, so I guess that my tastes must run toward quicker handling. But still, the difference between the '92 XO-1 and the '95 custom that improved on it but followed its pattern more closely than the later ones, and these later ones, is remarkable. Thanks, Grant!
I was surprised to get back on to a light 26er after having ridden 29ers for a number of years. Yes, a big difference, and both good: the Fargo was not exactly sluggish, nor the 26er flighty. How does the handling of the Ram compare to that of the Roadeo or the Legolas?
