Dan-Smith (Aug 4, 2009 at 10:01)

Dan-Smith (Aug 5, 2009 at 4:55)

yer man but you have to put down 1500 just for the frame even if your on the team... then u have to buy parts too.. very expensive.. wish i was on the team but there are better offeres around

jackterry123 (Aug 5, 2009 at 4:59)

my mate payed just over 2000 for frame and BOS forks and shock and used parts off his old bike

Dan-Smith (Aug 5, 2009 at 5:12)

well they offered me 1500 for the frame and then i was going to add everything off the old bike and sell the frame... but i just couldnt raise the cash. gutted

Looks like VPP ripoff! I bet those won't be for sale in the USA if SantaCruz has a say!

nope - the floating shock is attached to the link itself, which is a 'brand new' design.

banshee-ripper (Aug 6, 2009 at 12:04)

Doesn't matter if the shock is floating, the VPP patent is classified by the "Counter-Rotating" links that cause the S-shaped axle path!

Plain and simple, It intrudes on the pattent, and that's why I guarrenty you it will not be for sale in the US! Hence why theres no US dealers on their list of distributers!

Boo-hoo! We'll gladly buy them in the Great White North!

I thought that you needed to be able to draw imaginary lines through the two links to locate the actual "virtual pivot" point on VPP bikes. The lines on these links would never intersect.

banshee-ripper (Aug 8, 2009 at 5:22)

yes they would, at their currant positions, they would cross near the middle of the lowwer link. The only way they would never cross, is if they were perfectly parralell to each other...

seraph (Aug 8, 2009 at 8:34)

Ah I missed that other upper link initially.

banshee-ripper (Aug 8, 2009 at 8:58)

, yeah, it is well hidden!
