Don't think I've mentioned my other Assenmacher. This one's also old, but a lot newer than my original; I took delivery of this frame the same week I moved into our house. The bikes are quite different.
The old bike is your classic "club racer"--a bike with criterium geometry but also with fender clearances and the usual tiddly bits. It has a super-stiff frame and its handling is quick enough that most folks would call it "twitchy"--it's definitely not a bike for everyone. I've put lots of miles on the bike, so it probably fits my needs.
So what's your next bike, Joel? That was easy, actually; I wanted a similarly quick-handling bike, but with a slightly smaller frame, somewhat softer ride, and real camping capabilties. Matt came up with this frame. It's an excellent bike, but lifestyle changes have pretty much made my original plan for the design irrelevant.
I like the original better.
