Most of the time it is great, but those 180 degree switchbacks are a PITA!!!! And the wheelie effect, yikes, it's the worst on uphill switchbacks, where sometimes I think I am riding a unicycle.

My buddy has an On-One Scandal setup with alu Switchblade. Very content with it, even if I prefer a quicker handling rig on our twisties. He calls it steering precision though, and I can only concur, it's precise this way. I suppose he's o lazy handlebar janker, uses a really wide 15d bar even. 72d HTA, 38-39mm offset, that was called 29″ specific geometry for quite a few years.
