i like ur stratagey...

Wilson... socom's have a tendancy to break after one year lol...

but i like fsr (horst) better than vpp

I agree. I have seen a couple Soccoms snap in two, where as the Wilsons I have only seen dents in them. Never ridden a VPP so cannot comment on it, but I do love how the Wilson rides. Feels pretty balanced.

VPP is sweet but it has serious brake jack... Where i ride its steep, rough but still has pedaling sections so fsr fits the bill... no brake jack, pedals great too..

East coast- Steep? TEH LIES! TEH LIES!

Neither haha I found the wilsons ride like wet noodles and the socom has way to thin of a tubeset and I hate vpp and horst link haha and intenses quality control sucks they had a whole but load of frames go out with the pivot holes bored to big.

You ride like a wet noodle. Sorry nothing really constructive to say. Needle bearings have helped the flex issue a little. It helps you go round corners faster.

Lived in Georgia for most my life. Did some sight seeing in WV a couple times, nothing but hills my man! But I can't really judge as I have only done sight seeing around there. Just never considered the east coast to be really "steep".

West coast is where it's at!

I have seen 2 hurt glorys one broken seat tube because the guy was running to short of a seath post and cranked his ass off the seat really hard broke it out the back and one dented bb tube thinger cant think of the name due to a massive rock smash goin full bore through a rock garden... hardly some drop onto a stand for a dent. I hate one season frames just like the new V-10

The session 88 is probably one of the best looking complete production bikes ever. but look closer. who wants big earl crap on their bike? Not me.... I spoke to Vanderham about it and he wasn't that impressed by it and he said that even shandro wasn't that overly stoked about it either.
It's light.... that would be it's best attribute. even the brake jack or anti brake jack isn't all that it's supposed to be.....plus they have been having problems with the rear ends braking ...... that's the truth.. I wouldn't want to be thrashing it at whistler.
