Could anyone compare the racing qualities, as well as the overall ride qualities, of these two bikes?
The Attack has a sloping top tube, which makes the tube shorter and therefore stiffer than the HSG's horizontal top tube. Would that mean that the Attack is better for acceleration but that the HSG would be more comfortable in a road race?
On the other hand, since the HSG has a relatively small wheel base, would that make it faster but less stable than the Attack?
Or are these bikes so close in quality that any differences in performance are hardly noticeable?
