Wow, VO frames have really changed since I last looked at the details...and not for the better.
That tapered steel fork on the Pass Hunter is fugly. Tapered steel fork? Good lord. I get it, you then have the option to buy a $500 carbon tapered fork, but wow is it rough to look at in stock form.
And their widest fitting 70pc frame can only take a 35mm tire? Wow.
It's VO, so 650b is everything, but 35mm is the widest 700c tire? Shocking in this day and age. My main road bike can handle a 35mm tire with rim brakes. Surprised to see they didn't design a frame to take anything larger for the majority of cyclists that use 700c wheels.

The sale's been extended through tomorrow; they have Pass Hunters and Neutrinos in stock. Do with that what you will.
And yeah, looking at the Pass Hunter, the tapered head tube and straight fork are pretty ugly, but I do like the wishbone seatstays. The Polyvalent is much prettier; probably why they're sold out.
Wonder if they have new models/colors coming? It would explain the sale.
ETA: They did get their Klunker bars back in.
