:steve! I have been riding a merlin Road with a Rock Shox Paris Reubais for two seasons now and have enjoyed it very much. I have had a Ruby on order since Jan '96 and expect to have it any day now! I am "an older cyclist" who is not to concerned re getting "there first" but getting "there"in comfort. I have not noticed any handling difficulties with the Paris Reubais. it responds best to "hard hits" (big pot-holes)and is not as forgiving on the smaller "stuff" but still a pleasure to handle. Granted it weighs more but then I'm looking for comfort and my trusty Merlin Road (4 years old) eats up anything that the shock can't handle. I will let You know how my Ruby rides!
