I like the look of them, and tried them a few years ago, with different stem

Ah, that makes sense. I guess standover issues never occur to me,
having such long legs that I've never really met a frame I couldn't
stand over.
Again, that's an awesome looking ride.

I do the same thing with angling the bars slightly downward to give
myself a more natural wrist position. I've never felt slower on my
upright, but I also haven't felt more comfortable, either.

The VO cages look nearly identical to some cages I've seen under Trek,

they are/were nice cages under any label.

Taste is subjective. But to my eyes the King Iris cage is the better
design. Rather than using a single large attachment plate, King uses
two smaller plates (as on all King cages). Harder to do and more
appealing to the eye.
Jeremy:
The smaller wheel size allows me to ride (and stand over) a larger size frame
than I could otherwise manage. Since the seat tube of the larger frame is
longer than a "normal" size frame for me, less seat post extends out of it.
Thanks for the kind comments too!
