SC Tallboy 6, death to the VPP

I know there's a lot of Tallboy lovin' on here so this won't be surprising news I imagine. Ooooft:

No more VVP but that's the way things have been going with other new SC models so entirely expected. Will it matter? Probably not. 

Given I've owned two Tallboys and Mrs a11y had a Tallboy LT, I fully expect it'd be my sort of bike. The problem is my current Tallboy 5 is just soooooo good there's no incentive to even consider a change. But in a few years maybe a discounted frame or secondhand bike.

I feel dirty for liking the rainbow/reflective downtube decals though 😛
