I bought this bike to run at work for a while because my charge plug got trashed under a car a few months ago. Since then I've been using a 53cm (too small) Volume cutter V2 for my Bike Messenger job. Ive found Volume with Huge riser bars at work is beginning to take its toll on my back, especially with a heavy bag hanging off me. I realise a heap of you will straight away burn me for using a "Pursuit" style frame for riding around the city all day, BUT in fact the Histogram isn't as pursuit as it looks and most people who have ridden one will likely have a similar opinion. Some people refer to the MASH as an aesthetic pursuit geo compared to true pursuit frames like the LOW or something of that nature.
As for the Aerospoke goes, its a gnarly strong wheel that is easy to throw a Kryptonite evo through and will (obviously) never have to be trued. its not ideal but i plan to swap it out for something less strong but still heaps lighter down the track.
Any comments and opinions are welcome.
