Right now I have a Volume Bermuda with a 13.5 chainstay, 11.7 bb, 75° headtube etc. So it'd be a pretty big change... but that might be a good thing, I've always wanted to experiment with a shorter backend and steeper headtube
id probably recommend either like a bsd wza or a few others, specs are in comparison with the bermuda
s&m whammo: .25 steeper headtube, bit shorter back end, bith higher bottom bracket
fed perrin: .2 steeper, .3 shorter back, .1 taller bb
fit sav: .5 steeper, .2 shorter, .1 taller bb
any 3 of those would be more twitchy, but not as twitch as the bsd alvx
i ended up going with a churchill because i found that a higher bottom bracket with a 13.5 cs is easy to get into manys but more stable, and the 75.3 headtube wasnt overly crazy twitchy
