lol....seeing as its one of the lightest frames on the market, with a VERY light build, i fairly sure i can get my hopes up?

also, dont get your hopes up that your deviants going to protect your face in a crash.

lol, it will, as long as i happen to crash at 12 miles an hour on a flat road
and by that logic
your bike sucks due to its weight

hes only angry because the session has the same silhouette as a stinky.

well no, as if you go a race, or anywhere wher actual riders ride, you will see that NOBODY will be wearing a deviant, because they arent even designed for Dh use, they are designed for AM riders wanting a bit more protection. they have passed next to none of the safety qualifications of TLD's and The's, whereas all the parts on my bike, apart from ok, questionably the rims, are proven parts for Dh use.

they pass the dh ones too
the specialized riders wear them, ive seen quite a few racers (non pro using them)
specialized, belive it or not, do not have a large helmet range so why would they sponsor there helmet?
and that frame proven?!?!?!
i was indecided between the session 88 and a commencal supreme, trek was more money (around 400 quid more on employer price) and came with no proven technology
and within 1 munth they were having to recall stuff to replace bearing or something

"oh no" my bike looks slightly similiar to a stinky.

it outpeforms yours, this gimp on the commencals, and stinkys themselves immenseley.

no need to try and take cheapshots, because you get what you pay for.

Fags.

actually ive seen plenty of deviant helmets been used at dh races in my area

thers no way your bike is 34-35lbs, unless youre using single ply tires and zeroing the scale with some weight on it

it's the rider not the bike, and the 2009 supreme dh is one of the sickest dh rigs on the market right now

you paid 2 grand for a TREK thats nothing to be proud of,paying 2 grand for an intense is summit to be proud of,even paying 1350 for a devinci wilson is something to be proud of.

hey the session might be a nice bike but people like you and the 2 grand price tag put people of,it dont take rocket science to realise theres a whole lot better bikes out there for the money.

2300 quid for an intense m6 or 1400 quid for an m3,bugger you didnt even buy the session you got it free of your insurance.

i just realised this threads about santa cruz v 10 or intense m6 LOL

id say look a bit more, if it were between those 2 id go for the v10 although thats mainly because ive seen a few and they ride rly rly rly well
ive heard that intense utilise the vpp better though?
i guess that the m6 looks better too and is rare lol

Right, lets even say that the stock session is 39lb's, just to throw on some weight, to make you all happy.

subtract from this:

325g on changing the seat/post
5g on bars
390g on pedals
100g on cassete
750 on wheels

39-3.73=
35.27lb's

if we use the actual stock weight, of 38lb's, that puts it clearly within 34lb's.

yeah, i forgot how many bikes that cost £3500 come with 40's, X.0 gearing, 09 saint cranks, and elixir CR Brakes, and are the lightest Dh bike on the market.
