Totally different design philosophy, but this bike is literally like being rigidly attached to a jackhammer on a marble floor. Could probably rattle the teeth out of your head. I've crazily ridden a century on it one day years ago, and remember never wanting to ride a bicycle ever again after that experience. Of course, this bike is not meant to be ridden on the road for long periods of time, it's designed for explosive power transfer on the track.

Yes Nick, I agree. Here is another aluminum bike that I owned but sold in an attempt to pare down. It was also a super smooth and comfortable ride.
