I saw a Polyvalent in person. I thought the matte black finish looked cheap and unattractive and not unlike a spraypaint job. I thought they looked nice online, but in person, they turned me off.

for the same price (or less) as a VO Rando, you can buy a Bob Jackson frame. The End-to-End and World Tour have all the provisions one would need. And dare I say the quality of the tubing, alignment, and frame build would be higher.
