: :Gord! 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. 1997 and expect to have it any day now! I am "an older cyclist" who is not to concerned re getting "there first" but just getting "there"in comfort. I have not noticed any handling difficulties with the Paris Reubais. It responds best to "hard hits" (bigger pot-holes-railway crossings etc.)and is not as forgiving on the smaller "stuff" but still a pleasure to handle. Granted it weighs more but not to the detrement of handling. My Merlin eats up anything that the shock can't handle. I honestly don't feel that I am pushing anymore weight at all. Will let You know how I feel about RUBY when I see her!
