I'm highly interested is building up and open design frame. I don't have concerns about the safety or general quality of the frames that are available.

I am concerned about the ride quality and having the stiffness where is matters but not overly stiff. I have risen quite a few carbon bikes and they are not all created equally. I had a Norco search for example that while stiff felt dead. My cervelo feels lively yet comfortable.

Anyone compared these frames ride feel with bikes that may have inspired them? Particularly interested in comparing a specialized tarmac sl7 vs a vb-r168m?
