I think you need to get one ASAP.

Whatever you do, don't tarck it out.

If you're after that type of frame, I say do it. Despite the haters, the V2 is a really nice frame for the price. Which fork would you get?

The V2 is made of thicker-walled aluminum than previous versions and is extremely sturdy.

My now deactivated pista concept was thought to be a leader by many at the LBS.

Is it a black '04 one like mine?

I could be mistaken but I believe yours in an older V1.

It's slightly cheaper than the 722 too...the gloss white looks pretty sweet and we can be.... :innocent:

That was cute.

Yeah but if you want the good carbon fork, the cost goes up pretty significantly. Worth it, IMO.

The 722 is $375 Canadian at one of the shops and the 725 is like $15-20 cheaper...


Hmmmm -Strokes imaginary beard-
