Volume Cutter V6

I know I keep bitching about negative bottom brackets, but if I had to buy a new frame right now, without a negative bottom bracket, it would be the Volume Cutter V6.
It's bomb proof, (Mitch rode it for a few years, and it's still fine) and now even accepts 45c tires!
First thing I'd do, is take the stickers off, but I love the black / red paintjob! It doesn't get more metal than that, besides flat black of course...


This is what Volume has to say about the V6:
When we sat down to do the new V6 drawing, we really didn’t want it to be like every other FGFS frame but to keep the overall specs as-is. The Cutter’s legendary geometry and strength quickly became the frame to ride cause of it’s maneuverability. Whether you’re a messenger, trick rider or even a daily commuter, the Cutter is one of the frames they can count on lasting.The all new V6 frame changes from the previous versions are, canned HT w/ speaker deboss, wider CS and SS (now fits a 45C+ tire), all new dropout shape and curved ST.
