I know that steel bike are known for a resilient ride. Titanium is also resilient, I guess folks here are splitting hairs trying to quantify the ride quality.
Both bikes are running 23mm Vittoria Corsa tyres inflated to 80psi front and rear (I weigh 85kg).
The wheels on the moots are far less spokes and are wider rims. Because of the wider rims the tyres are more like a 25mm.
The Concorde wheels are 32 spoke front and rear on narrow Open Pro's.
To make a better comparison I should install 25's on the Concorde.
The Moots is smooth, but the Concorde is smootherer.
