holly crap! this one great looking bike

this was in my future plans to replace my current v10 frame, but my team got sponsored by Pivot Cycles so no carbon v10 for me next season!

Probs the nicest looking carbon v10 iv seen, the black and gray really works

i don't intend to sound thick but is it full carbon or just the front end?

nouser (Jan 7, 2011 at 5:44)

Just the front end

Amazing.

I would only change Boxxer to black.Everything else is spot on.

Really good looking frame, did you get it from the US, or through the UK distrubutor?

How does it feel compared to the Alloy one?

willg180 (Jan 7, 2011 at 13:46)

It's one of the first batch of the UK frames sourced through my local bike shop. It's another league to the alloy one, new shock ratio is really sweet, the travel feels slightly more linier, gives it an even more bottomless feeling with out any numbness. The handling is also improved to my old V10.3, guess this is be a compination of weight distribution and head angle in my case, but I find alot better in both fast and slow corners.

Nice! Didn't tell me this was your plan;p Now you need a Carbon Nomad to sit next to it

Congratulations!
Do you have more pictures?

is it a medium? and what upper cup did you fit?

willg180 (Jan 7, 2011 at 13:20)

Fitted the .5 cup as I dont run that much sag. The .5 feels perfect and the 1 degree cup was a little to slack for me. I prefer to run a 50-100lb to heavy spring for my wieght and my v10.3 always felt like it could of done with being a little slacker. It is a medium frame.

christiaan (Jan 8, 2011 at 13:29)

Oh, is it nude carbon with clearcoat, or is the frame painted black?

willg180 (Jan 10, 2011 at 0:46)

I believe it would be described as a gell coat black, as you would get in a coloured fibre glass product, they put the Santacruz decals on and then a lacquer on top of that. Looks like painted black though. The painted ones are heavier
