>>1809491Get some low rolling resistance tyres like continental Speed King Race Sports, that single change will transform its performance on tarmac more tha anything else, picrel is a Cannondale M300 Beast of the East with similar geometry and it's a great bike on the road and off. It's never going to be as fast as an out and out road bike, but it hits the sweet spot for me between speed, comfort and fun factor, bunny hops like it's spring loaded.
