I want to like it, especially since I don't want to seem biased since I opted for a Pro Machine, but ICK! From an asthetics standpoint, those clamshell lugs in the accent color is hideous, especially against the carbon weave. Even in all black they're pretty ugly. I'll assume the engineers know what they're doing though and the thing is a stiff yet compliant rocket. In the end, it's about the ride, not the looks.
