More than a few said either they wished they bought a Duende or Responsorium, or that they already owned one of those models and far preferred it for almost all riding they were doing.
Slight thread drift, but maybe relevant. Cheers.

I think that has a lot to do with how folks are riding them. I wouldn’t want to noodle around on a Mxxxxxo for recovery rides at 100W.. they need to be ridden aggressively to feel right (atmo). The patient must know themself before seeking medicine, and also know where others are coming from when listening to their advice..
On the other hand, a Duende or Respo is an excellent bike, and can be ridden hard as well - probably a closer choice though for that sub-200lb rider vs. our OP.
