I think you need to get one ASAP.

Whatever you do, don't tarck it out.

If you're after that type of frame, I say do it. Despite the haters, the V2 is a really nice frame for the price. Which fork would you get?

The V2 is made of thicker-walled aluminum than previous versions and is extremely sturdy.

My now deactivated pista concept was thought to be a leader by many at the LBS.

I could be mistaken but I believe yours in an older V1.

That was cute.

Yeah but if you want the good carbon fork, the cost goes up pretty significantly. Worth it, IMO.
