in comparison to the PA… ride wise this is definately more confidence inspiring and feels a bit less harsh. I loved the PA, but it certainly couldn't take to the 160 forks..
I did prefer the PA's compactness – but then it was a 17inch rather than this 18inch frame.
I have a mate out here with a PA, so we're planning on going for a ride and swapping for a run or two – just to see exactly what's going on.
I have to say that the PA was transformed with the short stem and wide bars though – and 140mm forks.
Weightwise – no idea – I guess they must be the same(ish) not light – but my tyres probably out-weigh the frame, so it's a non-issue for me.
TT length is 23.5inches on mine – nice and long so you can fit a short stem without being squashed.
