I've read through the other threads about this, but I was wondering what the performance difference is between the S2 and S1? S2 is just stiffer? My LBS let me borrow an S2 for a few days and it road like a dream but was super stiff on rough roads. Now I have an RS for a few days and have just road it around the block but it seems like it doesn't handle as well as the S2 but is much more comfortable.
I'm thinking that the S1 might be a good compromise. Isn't that bike a little less stiff/easier ride than the S2? Plus it's much cheaper so I wouldn't be so scared to crash it. But...doesn't home owners insurance cover crashed bikes? Maybe not...
I just want a comfortable bike that handles well and descends well. I will use my P2c in races and will race the road bike but primarily use it for training.
Thanks!
