If you're talking Pashley Picador, then I'm impressed. We have one but going faster than 10mph in a straight line is unnerving, trying to corner at anything faster than slow walking pace is terrifying. As a result it's sitting in the garage right now with three flat tyres (Woods valves not being renowned for air retention).
I'm amazed at the difference, "common sense" telling me the Rogers should be much harder to ride, but it's not so.
