I've read a reviev about lapierre dh-230 on pinkbike (http://www.pinkbike.com/news/LaPierre-DH-230-review-2007.html) and they say it can be touchy and feels like it had steeper head angle that it really has. Any other people that have ridden it feel similar? And wouldn't a touchy feel and the fact that it's a bit higher than a normal dh bike make it good for FR?
