Over $1000 it's not an incredible deal in my opinion

 Was referring to "single pivots hurt". You seem to be missing a pivotal part of your argument. (baaazing!)

 Yeah i dont like the fact that all the torsional force is directed towards one pivot, not to mention that its quite unaesthetically pleasing for a large asking price,Anyone who does whips or any spins at all would understand, btw twas not funny, I think you meant "bazinga"...

flag dkidd (Jan 30, 2012 at 2:33)
 You realize that the same forces are exerted on the main pivot point of any suspension linkage, just the dobermann's are twice the size, and thus twice as capable of containing the forces? Did you assume that just because FSR has an extra pivot near the dropout that torsional forces from spins and whips are magically deflected from the BB area?
Aesthetics are in the eye of the beholder, wouldn't you agree? Just because a simpleton can't appreciate a work of art (or afford it) doesn't detract from it's worthiness as such, the same way that said simpletons lack of joke comprehension is not enough to strip the vestiges of humour from a rather witty pun. (Baaazing!)

 i just dont like frames that have mad flex sorry man, i appreciate art, this frame is not art, nor is the stella. my hardtail frame is almost worth as much as a lepink,( why would i even buy a lepink) so do a little research before you make assumptions, im sure you know what they say about assumptions... dude you dont have to look up every second word you say in the dictionary to be funny or have a sense of superiority towards others, i sense you have a rather large ego and are trying to maintain it , but everyone could care less

 Man, I thought I'd actually have a good debate here... but that's not possible if you're just gonna be ignorant about it.
There is no FS slopestyle frame laterally stiffer than the Le Pink. The Le Pink runs on four r12 bearings at the main pivot. You likely don't know what this actually means, as you've clearly never ridden one, but it means it's really stiff.
Your ticket frame may cost almost a grand, but it's certainly not WORTH that much.
I never made any assumptions about what you ride. You ride a poorly constructed slope bike and an overpriced jump bike... and you don't seem to be getting much use out of either.
And as for everyone caring less, this is a conversation between you and me... and you seem very intent on its outcome.

I'm not gonna tell you to stop responding, as I am rather enjoying this... so lets see what ya got!

 The photo of the bass is over 2 years old, and is in no way poorly constructed, and its fairly obvious Ive gotten no use of my trek I got it 2 weeks ago... The bass got lots of good use and so will the over priced ticket frame that I got for $650. Your bikes must go through rigorous use with all those 180 tables
