Our bars are different. Although the crossbars does go through the steertube like RAD V2's ours has backsweep. RAD doesn't. Our forks are cut at an angle on the outside of the fork legs and our forks have gussets. And as for the paint job, RAD offers a zebra paint job while we, VNC, offer a tiger stripe paint job and it comes in any colors of your choice. This post isn't mean't to hate on RAD it's just to clear things up. BTW better pics will be up on the site tonight.
