The question should definitely be made more precise. Do you mean
COMFORTABLE, as in: smooths out roads, predictable steering, easy on the butt, hands, etc. or ENJOYABLEE, a much broader category that can overlap with the above, but also be interpreted by some folks to mean just the opposite: allows you to really step on the gas, has lively steering, gives you full feel for the road beneath you, springs up on the climbs, makes your ears whistle on the sprints, etc. Between these two categories, you can fit just about any good frameset ever made, and the range of responses above proves it. |

Jeff that does look hot. Having seen some of your other bikes this must be quite a ride.

My all time fave bike (with my limited experience) is a Merckx Corsa 01. Some call it a MX Leader lite, and I agree. Rode like a dream and I sold it! Turns out it actually went to a forum member, so that's good.

For all around road use....CAAD 10 for me. Even my Campy triple crank works good on it for a mountain trip. Wouldn't call it best riding.....because that depends on many things, would just call it favorite all around bike I ever owned. And it has fairly standard geometry. And I haven't owned as many as some of you. It rides as good as my custom steel with Enve fork. Maybe what I really like is how much bike it is for how little it cost new. Looking at a new CAAD 12 on E Bay for $700.

Derosa primato EL for me, most comfy frame I’ve riddeen I remember doing a 60 mile local race and feeling like I rode 7 miles. Something about that frame vs others.

Moots Vamoots CR is a sweet spot road bike...intuitive handling, great snap, super comfortable. I wonder if a more aggressive ti frame (e.g. RSL etc) would give me more or less of the things I enjoy.
I haven't been able to derive a reliable formula of which bikes will resonate for me, but a select few are clearly more enjoyable than my others. The Moots is an unexpected front-runner. Kirk MRB and SV CX are remarkable too. Last edited by sparky33; 01-25-2018 at 08:31 AM. |

I have to say, after 100 and something miles on this parlee I just built, its shaping to be one of the best rider I ever been on.

I've had 2 Schwinn Paramounts, 1 Serotta Titanium and many Treks but the best one for me is the Specialized 2016 Diverge Comp.
