That says it better than I did. Every bike seems to have the speed it likes. The workcycles stasis speed is slower than I'd like, most dutch style bikes are like that. You can go faster but they don't like it, more to do with geometry and rider position than weight of the bike.
In contrast the bullitt the stasis speed seems more like a road bike. I didn't get a chance to try out a Cetma. And overbuilt works for me since we'll be putting 400+ lbs on the bike regularly. And the narrow box works pretty well for what we need. But everyone has their own needs.
