Different beefier tires same brand. Had 890gram wicked wills before and have the 1100ish gram Mary's.

The feeling is like casing a square edge really hard.

This is my current bike. Best (and prettiest) bike I've ever had.

Beautiful, being in whistler and seeing all the bikes.. the santa cruz's stand out as some of the best looking bikes to me. Make me want a new frame even though I have no reason to upgrade.

Im a bit bord of them to be honest, the one above looks great, but all the ones in Whistler seem boring and just a bike you rent or buy if you have a lot of money

Pretty much any newish Dh bike falls in the if you have a lot of money category imo. Whistler is flooded with neon orange GT and multi coloured specialized downhill bikes and neon coloured enduro bikes galore, only seen a couple v10s this year, and all done up in black they look classy and refined.

I haven't seen a single person with the same bike as me in the park or anywhere in whistler!

It doesn't have to cost a lot of money. I built a pretty sick 2015 gambler frame for $3400. I bought a custom built 2012 gambler for $2000. Brand new fox 40 and saint drivetrain. Then I Picked up the 2015 frame in brand new condition with a float x2 for $1400. It belonged to a pro rider who only used it once. So for the total cost of $3400 (hoping to sell my old frame for $600) I ended up with this

I've built all my bikes cheaply as well.. but it's still alot of money for a bike when you think about it. Most people ride $150 bikes their whole lives. Even dropping a grand on a bike is a tonne of money that a lot of people wouldn't be able to afford.
