The Storck Absolutist offers almost everything that ambitious riders want: stability, directional stability, precise steering as well as a comfortable seating position and decent propulsion.
The bike is technically and visually flawless. The only blemish is a minimal paint abrasion on the down tube (photo), caused by the bike stand.
As a 'third wheel' I have used it little in recent years.
