Has anyone had any experience riding the Hed V04? I noticed that it has a fairly laxed seat angle relative to the 78 and 80's often discussed, and thus has anyone experienced limitations in transitioning. Thanks!

They build a limited number solely for the UK market and I was only looking at one the other night at a local TT. You get a lot of bang for your buck and they look great but they are at a slacker angle (73.5 I think). This years model sees a few upgrades over last years so if the geometry is right for you it might be worth a look. If you've been fitted already or even if not look at the geometry between the two frmaes and see if there are any differences.

Very, very trick. If the geometry fits you, and you can get your mitts on one, do it. Very snazzy indeed.

You can seach for my reviews...
I had a Vo3.
VERY VERY stiff. Great TT bike for under 40k. Over 40k, it will kick your ass and make you sore.
Although a slacker TT bike, fairly easy to get up to 76 w/o much problem. 78 is pushing it.
My only real beef was the front cable guides don't provide enough clearance to DA/Ultegra brake arm.....
Otherwise, the seat post and seat clamp were awesome.....

You have to see it the geomtry works for you, if it does, get it. It is a great bike, very stiff, very rare, and very fast. I love mine.
