Versus for looks - sexy - you will get laid with that bike - it might not be by a female, but you will be made to feel special  :smitten:

New school have such a different feel to riding to old school - so it will feel strange when you first use it, but you will get used to it  ;)

I tried Peter J's Volta and concluded that the WTP frames don't work for me; I suggest you pop down to your LBS and try the geometry and stand over.  ;)

I would go for the 2011 model for the value for money, if it works for you, though!  :daumenhoch:

Mine was a wtp trust and I didn't really like the geometry.
