I've tried. They're too stable. Fast as hell, and not totally awful on trails, but they're made for what they're made for.<BR/><BR/>If you can get in a manual, they'll stay there forever, but it's not worth the pain heaving it up. Hop-to-manual is ridiculously hard, and without those, street's no fun. And they not only aren't good for spinning, they <I>resist</I> it.<BR/><BR/>Great race bikes. No good for anything else.<BR/><BR/>Eventually I got frustrated passing spots and never being able to hit anything, gave up and put skinny wheels (and a bunch of other wussy parts from my racing youth) on my Standard. It's a 19-pound single-speed road bike that you sit upright on, basically. Every other rider who sees it gets pissed off, so it's almost worth it.
