I haven't found a reason to replace it yet, and that's saying something!
That Volagi looks like a very cool bike! It's not often that you see a steel frame with such modern curves. Until I looked closer and read further, I was sure that was an aluminum or carbon bike. I'd be very keen to ride one.

Looks like the Grimmer Donut of road bikes (except the GD actually worked, at least for Yoann)

It's remarkably comfortable. Occasionally a little pedal bob from the chainstay arrangement, but that's forgiveable to me. There is a carbon version out in the world; also ti. Company went under when the co-founder had TBI from bike crash.
