The build is complete. FYI, with the fiberglass seat, SRAM 9.0 everything, except the FD which is a Campy Mirage, PC 951 chain, TerraCycle Idler Kit, &...
I got 10 miles in Sunday evening. Overall it killer. Light, responsive & stable. By mistake I road it with 50 lbs. in the tires, so fast, well I can't say for...
Overall a great bike, much better with 90lbs. in the tires. A minor failure, the FD binder bolt let go. A gal on a roadie stopped to help, I carry tools, so no...

Hi When I increased my angle of recline the lumbar suport had to be reduced by adding a 1/2 " pad above the lumbar bent on the seat and the reach was to short...

I bought a club just over a month ago and have to say these are GREAT bikes. I feel so much better after a ride on this compared to an upright bike that I...
I am excited about my choice. I know what you mean about the workout and actually, as a physical therapist I can tell you that it is different. Just like in...

Another 14 miles today, still playing with seat angle. It's been a while since I've ridden a Euro Style seat. I reclined it a bit more before the ride & again...
Seems either there are not very many Volae owners or the owners don't seem to spend much time on internet forums. I love my Century, but the lack of activity...
I wouldn't call it "experience" yet, but I was just messing with lumbar support on my carbon seat today. I'll be tweaking all week probably, but for now I've...
What's a DF? I am hoping the closed cell foam is comfortable for long rides. I've always tried leaving the seat in one position for a week. All the way...
I bought my Volae Team in December of 2003 and have put about 11,500 miles on it. I also own a couple lowracers and a tandem, so the Volae isn't my only ride...

Flats, a way of life, not my life. I'm sorry I don't & won't ever ride the miles you do, but I'll bet your selection of tires has to do with thinking flats are...

Windwrap...I was wondering about those. Do you think they're worth it? Is it noticable with less wind in your face and the wind noise? I've ridden many...
The reclined SWB position doesn't allow you to take full aero advantage of a fairing like on a LWB. Given the extra weight and cost I wouldn't buy one for...
So far, I'm liking it! The difference is subtle, but I think I'm faster, and the wind is deflected around me for the most part. Even though it was in the high...
