I love my new Corsa! I bought mine two months ago to help with recovery from a hernia operation. I've got 575 miles on my new bike and find I'm riding 40% longer and 10% faster. I find it a much less painful to ride, no numb fingers, no neck/shoulder pain, and, of course, no seat pain. I don't have to force myself to lookup to see down the road or look over the top of my glasses. I don't find my shins and knees covered with road grime and the chain stays much cleaner. I am doing much better with balance and stability while riding, but I am more conscious of balance and steering. I have to periodically remind myself to relax my arms and shoulders for better balance. I still am careful about starting. I have had my feet slip off the peddles when slowing or stopping with traffic distractions or over bumps. I'm temporarily using toe clips from my road bike. I have had to learn not to move my knees outside the tweener bars for sharp turns and I love the feel of sharp turns at speed and feel less tire slippage than on my road bike. I am also making the adjustment to increase my cadence. I was surprised that I really needed help that Mark of Power-On Cycling of Riverview, FL. gently provided for my first ride, but I felt okay after about 10 minutes riding around the parking lot. My Fuji road bike sits forlornly in the garage.
