I have decided to take the plunge, going soft :whistling: and getting a DS, so Vipa is the choice.

Have any of the Vipa owners had problems with the pressfit BB?

I see some Vipas with Fox CTD and some with RS Monarch RT3, which is standard kit?

Welcome!

 

Press fit bb's aren't my favorite kind, but no issues my side.

 

First batch or two came with Monarch shocks and it's been all Fox since then as far as I know

No problem with the pressfit BB. As far as I know both the Fox and the RockShox shocks supplied with the bike were tuned for the frame.

Must be nice being sponsored. If you manage to break it, you just get a new one:)

Victor's own bike. Love the black Revelation (spaced to 120mm) and the custom brake levers.

Got the VIPA!!!

Large frame set.

All in with pedals, slime and bottle cage etc.

10.2 kg. I could drop weight on pedals, stem and grips and wheelset, but feels good to me.

Very happy, goes like stink, feels like cheating.

Corners like a 'Scalelectrix'? car.

Now just need to get it out to Kingskloof and such.

I'll try post pics but my phone still runs on paraffin and a sling.
