VP-Freeing

[alpinestar12]

Here's my Downhill/whatever bike:

VP-Free, Large, Anodized Slate
DHX 4.0, 8.5 by 2.5 for lower BB and slacker HA
Boxxer Team
721/Pro 2 with DT Competition
XT Drivetrain
Saint Brakes
and a few other parts...

It's very smooth, much more so than the old Coiler!

Cheers

What's with the long-ass derailleur wire?

Nice Ride

Very nice Micheal!, Do you still have the coiler or it was let go to fund this beast?

 

[Sam.]

Yeah Karls old bike? Its sick as, I cant believe he sold it!

This bicycle is a fine peice of machinery. Looks really good real life. Micheal, you have done a great job, and it looks fantastic.

Although why the derailleur cable so long? Hope that has been cut.

 

[alpinestar12]

Yeah it's Karl's old frame, and the wheels were his too.

Still got the Coiler, it's at home on my verandah with no parts on it.

Cable is long so I don't have to cut it and it dosen't fray - all the cool kids do it these days.

thats an awsome vp free! nice ride!

 

[warrior]

Always been a huge fan of the vp-free and yours is a fine example of why i like them so much. Ride her hard mate.

Ide probly cut the deralier cable ASAP as others have said. The reason for this is that when you arw doing a DH run or maybe even some XC it may get caught on a branch as you are riding by and rip it out.

This bike doesn't like me. It tried to buck me off! But then again, most bikes do.



Hi Michael. Do a skid.

youll be eating those words when you start ripping them off, mate of mine went through 6 in a couple of months with his xt and his were no where near that long
