Since it appears that the only way to ride one of these is to buy it first I was curious about the typical experience.
I currently ride a P38 and wonder how the comfort and laid back position of these bikes compares. The closest I have come to a euro type seat was sitting on a wishbone. Couldn't ride it though as it was set up for someone much taller so that doesn't tell me much.
I recently rode a Barcroft Virginia for about 40 miles and loved the ride although it did work on my neck. I imagine time in the saddle would improve that feeling.
Finally, speed? What I have read leads me to believe these big wheel bikes are faster, are they? -- Jim C
