I have a purple V3 Black Label and absolutely love it. It does feel very responsive, but that makes it feel fast. It is about 18 lbs, and you can feel how light that is. I ordered the GTR carbon wheels for it, and they definitely add to the track feel of the bike. The wheels are holding up well to all sorts of urban and light trail use. I can see the appeal of a steel "pub" fixed gear, but if I could only have one, it would be the Black Label. The value is incredible, and the bike is clean, straight, and with very nice welds. Best of luck!
