Yep - I bought one of these about a month ago and it is sweet as!
Pros = Absolute confidence on steep descents - can handle 90kph speeds and know I am still going to be able to stop for the traffic lights!
Cons = I keep having near misses every time I get on my old roadie with caliper brakes - almost running up the back of other riders or overshooting corners because it just doesn't stop the way the Volagi does!
