V10C 2013

[2-D]

Right on

 

Don't forget Greg Minnaars win at World Champ's this year on a carbon...

[patches]

Nah bro, I really like the V10C look, its clean, maybe not in those colours but I prefer it to the devinci. Have to say though attop my list would be the intense m9 in lime green.

 

Then this should be right up your alley

 

 

I happened too see this exact bike (and owner) in the Nauchette's lift queue. I thought My Makulu was hot. I almost wanted to hide it in shame

Ja fo sho. We're just questioning SC's claim to be the first carbon DH bike to take the rainbows.

Hahaha. Hey! Did you know the Joux Plane tops out about 50m from that restaurant at the top of Nauchettes? The one where no-one eats cos it's 15euro for a plate of fries.

Little observation... why is it running Descendant cranks? Santa Cruz dropped SRAM-Blackbox and should be running Fox-Shimano, so a little odd to see a "factory bike" with SRAM gear on

Jox Plane?

 

But yeah, that restaurant gave me that "you're not welcome here unless you spend big money" kinda vibe. I got dirtly looks just for walking in to ask if I could use the bathroom.

 

Also got shouted at by an onld French granny inChatel when I wheeled Peach's bust bike past their kitchen to store it while he was riding the super plush ambulance to Thonon

Oh I just went round the back and p!ssed in the bushes behind the restaurant. Hahaha. can never take the bush out of a saffa.

 

The Joux Plane is a famous climb that's been used multiple times in the Tour de France you philistine.

 

Ha. We made Richard ride back to Morzine on his bike. When he went down Dan said something along the lines of Have a cup of coffee. Harden the **** up and come ride.

I don't watch drug-riddled skinny bike riding. I usually plan my root canals when the TDF is on.

 

Yeah, Peach's arm was a bit wonkey. Couldn't expect him t ride on it. So I stored his bike, then hiked back to Chtel the next day to fetch it, and rode back on the tar.

 

When I broke my collarbone I had about an 8km solo ride back into town. Luckily most of it was on tar... but still wasn't a fun ride, that I can assure you of.

haha! FAIL!!

Maybe Shimano have supply issues.

 

On that. a little birdie told me the reason for the split between SC and SRAM. Aparently the syndicate guys approached SRAM and asked whether they could keep all their SRAM bits and sponsorship but run a Fox 40 rather than a blackbox boxxer. SRAM were not happy to do that as SC was essentially their works team and that would not look good. Also SRAM had the Spec team with Troy and Sam and the Spec OEM business is worth way more than the Santa Cruz OEM business.

 

For me if money were no issue at all I'd throw a set of Hope V4's on there. Lose the descendant cranks and put a set of E13's on. Renthal bar and stem. And last but not least a chain guide. It would be a coin toss between a straitline silent guide and a C-Sixx 110. Oh Oh. Chris King Hubs y'all.
