I’ll always remember riding my International at your place upstate the first season I had it, and going right into a pothole because it didn’t just scoot around it like my Mercian would. On that bike a subtle shift of body weight puts it just where I want to to go. The Raleigh needs more input. Not worse, just different. I like that my bikes feel distinct from each other.
