If you do, I want to try it! I love both my Q and my S30, but there's always the curiosity about the new models.
I have the S30 without front suspension, that I'd be willing to let you try out.
I got one. I was ready for something more reclined than the Silvio 1.5, but 27 degrees (much less 20) was just too much for me. The 33-degree seat angle (and lighter front end) compared to the original S30 were what I was looking for.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you're OK...
The Quest 3.0 (559) was $1995 in 2014. It's been discontinued, replaced by the QX100. Same frame and wheel size, different color, the DualDrive and single 42T e-ring replaced with a 34-48 double crankset. The QX100 lists for $1749...

They've already left the last solo female, Penny Barker, a good 60 miles behind. Looks like she's going to miss the time cutoff at TS35 (Mississippi River) by at least 10 hours. T403 is within 26-27 miles of the last solo male, Valerio Zamboni.
I bought my Q with the 451 wheels, because I wanted a lower seat height and bottom bracket. I liked them OK, but after a while, I wanted something a little faster. (The stock Kenda tires may have been the problem, but there aren't many options for 451 tires.)
I tried out a friend's Sofrider the...
More or less, yes, especially when combined with swaying the boom side to side just a bit--kind of like when a rider on an upright sways the bike side to side when standing to climb a hill or sprint.
Day 4. Tropical Storm Cindy (aka "Potential Tropical Cyclone DumpAFlood" per our local paper's editorial cartoonist) is creeping this way. Ditched the Tuesday night group ride in favor of a cruise closer to home. Nice-looking houses on the route, not-so-nice-looking sky.
I've seen this discussed on BROL several times. The consensus seems to be that it's better to shim the shoe and/or cleat for slight differences in leg length.

Correct.
I was dubious about ordering from AliExpress, but had no problems. You want either the A5-RR1 (dual chamber) or A5-RE (single chamber), 125mm. You'll need a shock pump, or a special attachment for your...
