Word.
I was seriously considering a Speedvagen road bike, but in the end couldn't afford it (KC nationals, and racing in Belgium aren't cheap!), so I went with a Yamaguchi. I'm very happy with my decision, and can't wait for my bike to be ready. I still think the SV is an amazing bike, and a good value.
(edit) Yes, I have seen one in person. The owner raced a Steelman, eurocross, and said it measures up in every way. As someone who races a Steelman I can attest to the hype surrounding them being legitimate . If the SV is as good as a Steelman... it's fu(king amazing.
