Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Why would a steerer tube in a carbon fork be a problem?

Do you work for them or something..?

No, I am just a 50 year old avid road cyclist in Omaha, NE that was searching for a new Ultegra Di2 bike that was more comfy than my Trek Madone 5.2. My research found very favorable reviews of the Volagi bikes, so I called them and they had a demo bike on the way back from the East Coast they dropeed in to Omaha for me to ride for about 10 days, and I was blown away by the ride and the disc brakes after previously demo-ing the Domane, the Roubaix, the Synapse, the CR1, the Pinny Paris and ROKH and Giant Defy. This bike is silky in the saddle, but like a race bike when you get after it. I purchased the new Liscio2 with Ultegra Di2 and love it! The Volago folks are great to deal with, and the Omaha Bicycle Company bike shop here in Omaha was o impressed with the demo bike I rode that they became a dealer for Volagi.

You'll be very happy with the bike. If you want to further improve the ride go tubeless. If you want' to further improve the already excellent braking switch out the brake rotors for the new Avid rotors which I believe are branded as "HSX". (Although I don't imagine that you will need better braking in Omaha!)
