I do keep the seat on mine slid fully rearward, and I sized down, this helps, but I don't find mine to be limited to winch and plummet at all. Seat tube angle is definitely a personal thing, but I went from crossworx at 79 degrees, to an SC tallboy that was very slack, then to the 141 which is back in the 79 range, and feel back at home.
It's more versatile than say, my Ripmo AF was. Similar descending capabilities (or maybe slightly higher since it's less flimsy feeling, not sure if Mike meant that as a joke but it was a very accurate description of me and anyone who might enjoy the bike, kudos there!) . But, it's less lethargic feeling (yes it pedals better than a ripmo AF, at least set up how I like each bike).
On roads the bike feels a tad tank like, compared to say my Revel rascal, but thats a small price to pay for confidence when riding hard and fast. I really enjoy the bike on any single track, even mellow.
