which one of these would be better for city riding/commuting in fair weather? i have a winter bike, so that wont be an issue. and also besides the tubing whats the difference between the mark v and mark v pro?

i'm not sure about the mark v but the jamie roy's got braze ons for rear brake and water bottles. it's insanely light and ready for brakes out of the box. i love it, no regrets.

mark v pro's fork has 30mm of rake to make it tighter.

also, the other diferance ( I think) is that that the MV pro is not driled fora rear brake, if you would want one.

no front only. what kind of carbon fork is it that they use in the "include carbon fork" option?
