I am not a frame builder (although that is on my bucket list of things to learn), but I find that on the Outback, the front end is fast and the rear is stable. When riding it on the road and pushing the bike into a fast descent and carving turns, it feels so different from my road bikes. The rear end stays planted, so to speak.
