Amen. Exactly what I think. I didn't like much Marc's bike being
different from mine (the trail being 2 or 3 cms more). When starting
from stillstand on his bike I sometimes swayed, had an overshoot.
Instead with my own bike I have "complete" control. But if Marc invests
the time he will get used to his own bike, and think mine is bad.
...well thats what I hope for!
