SpeedyJon, glad to hear your comment about the Avon Roadrider. I just ordered an Avon AM26 Roadrider 110/90-18 from Bike Bandit. Unfortunately, I won't be able to comment on the mileage wear on it until next summer.
I would be surprised if I will have much to say on the handling, I do not think I am the kinda rider that notices those things, but maybe I will.
