Nothing "wrong" with them, just a very weird shape. Sort of very high and with the BB too far forward, which gives a funny seat tube angle. Great for wheelies though!
I bought one some years ago to ride Chorley, could not get used to the riding posture, and fooked my wrist in the meantime, so never actually rode it for long.

I raced one for a few OS meets.

It felt alright but............

All my OS rides are 20.5" TT and feel spacious enough for my 5'10" body but the 20.5" TT that the RS1 has isn't a true reflection on its geometry. The BB is still the same distance away from the Headtube as the RS2 so it still feels like a 19.5" TT. It feels longer when sat down though due to the sloping Seat tube.

I kept on bangin' my knees on my bars when pedalling (standing up).

A Pro XL stem would probably solve the knee bangin' problem.

I've still got mine!
