Hi Phil

I'm using the recommended 32/36lb pressures. I can aleviate the symptoms by increasing the front tyre pressure a little - and thus reducing tyre scrub - or increasing the fork pre-load, but it doesn't really solve the problem. It's even noticeable when pushing the bike around the garage. The Strada seems to need loads more effort to turn.

I suppose if I didn't have the other bike to compare it with, I'd 'adapt' to its handling, and think it was normal - but it's not. It's way too heavy. I'm always knackered after a long ride.
