i thought a little into this which is why i'll be sticking with a straight blade that's some what tt oriented. in addition to this i'm thinking of trying out a carbon seatpost. and if i still hate it, i'll just sell the damn thing and find an overpriced steel frame that is far to extreme for the likes of any commuter.
