Hi Rusty, is that the s/m or m/l Froggy?

What do you think of it compared to a proper DH bike?

I'm thinking of geting one, but not sure I'll be able to demo it so want to hear from as many owners as possible. But unfortunately not many people have them.

And also, is that Swinley car park?

Hi Chakaping

Before this I had a V10 and a VP-Free and I don't plan to go back. As you can imagine there are some hits that the V10 could take better but these would be huge and due to rider error. The froggy feels just as stable on most DH tracks. Having this bike has made me a lot smoother and on most tracks faster as I can through it around.

It is the S/M and is about 34.5Lb with the Deemax wheels.

Hope that helps and yes it is Swinley.

God, that was a struggle. Too much vin rouge!

three lime green bikes 😯

Yeah, that was useful, cheers Rusty.

How tall are you and what's yr inside leg - if that's not too personal a question?

I'm a gnat's under 5ft 9in and thinking s/m for me, 31in inside leg.

Everyone must be getting bored of this photo, I've posted it so many times! I'll take a new photo of it sometime complete with scratches, dirt and proper pedals!

Hi Chakaping.

I am about 5ft8" Inner leg 29"/30". And the s/m is perfect for me.

Rusty.

if i could find a picture of mine I would post it up but my azonic sabre with 66's looks just like ken's old one (but it isn't actually his old one, its dave h's iirc) -atomlab wheels, much lower saddle, chain device, saint brakes and big wiiiiiide diabolus bars. It weighs a ton but it's a real talent compensator!

ive just bought a commencal supreame 2 😉

[img] [/img]
although now has 09 coil totems with 1.5" steerer, many fewer spacers and a thompson 4x stem to go with the thicker steerer. I really like it. 7" is enough for 90% of the stuff I take it on and it handled the first fort william enduro well enough.

My Bullit. Now sold on. Was a superb bike.

Mountain Cycle Shockwave 9.5, just waiting for the new WC links to drop it to 8".

[img] [/img]
The original Shockwave from 2000, 8" with a triple front ring! Traded the frame against the new Battery...
[img] [/img]
Float 36's on now and a double/bash, short stem etc.

that orange battery looks fun. is the wheelbase short? whats it intended for slopestyle or general razing.

My Trek Session 88. Now has a Ti spring that makes me 17.2% faster.

ohh! that trek is purdy, they've managed to get themselves a horrible rep for snapping though.

It's the rear triangle that has been snapping and Trek have done a voluntary recall on them. Surprise surprise, the replacement parts are about a lbs heavier - some things shouldn't be that light.

Designed as a Comp Slopestyle bike - took them about 4 years to get it to production as MC was bought from Kinesis and restarted. Let's just say I'm not target market lol. I liked the standover and burliness of it + really short back end which makes manuals and getting the front up off slow speed drops dead easy. Took it out to the Alps with Trail Addiction for singletrack and it was an absolute riot! Surprised it works so well with the longer Floats tbh, will get more pics up asap. (Has my old 66SL's on in this pic).
