Well I got a good ride on it today and wow I really like it. Ray you are right I can see the Gyro on the chopping block and the V3 will be my permanent until I get about 3 to 5k on this one then I will treat my self to a X-Stream. The review was spot on too. I cant imagine why an X-Large would not have an angled stem. There was at least an 8 inch gap between my knees and bar. I am going to experiment with the Euromesh and an angled riser and this thing will be perfect. I will stay away from even test riding a X-Stream. LOL. The wifey was not as fond of the V3 as I thought she would be and really does not like the Bacchetta. She will be a Stratus XP or Crank forward type of girl I think. She could ride it but was not comfortable on it. The upgrade on the wheels is nice and it took my riding trail without a hitch today. A little more jarring on the bridges but no rim issues yet. I am curious how the low spoke count deep V rims will hold up. They do spin out very well. I imagine the front wheel will never be a problem but might have to put a 32 or 36 aeroheat on the rear of the bike for my big self. Bike seamed very fast and on my Gyro I use the small front ring a lot. I never even came close to shifting down to the third ring on this one not sure why.
 
I will say this though. I have been averaging 12mph on my normal route  on the Gyro but not pushing it at all. I rolled out hard and fast friday and made almost every traffic light. Pulled my 8 to 9 mile route up to 15 mph. I figured not to bad since there is a few stops and lights in there. Lots of hills too for 9 miles that is. I will be very interested in how this thing will roll out when I get settled in on it and adjusted out.
