ridesleeprepeat Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 should really be comparing the giant to the SC blur... at least that way you can cancel the single vs VP debate...
vanniri Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Economy? - you only turn 40 once! Seriously: stage races is hard on bikes, especially pivots. Just for this reason I would choose the single pivot over the more complicated linked one. I?ve ridden one Giant HT and two SC?s (Blur and Chameleon). Sold the Blur due to maintenance hassles. Still have the Chameleon. Had a racing buddy with a Superlight - still has it and he really enjoys it.
Mudsimus Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 \Still have the Chameleon. \ A orange one.. Sweet bike.
vanniri Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 \Still have the Chameleon. \ A orange one.. Sweet bike. How did you know it is orange? - yes it is sweet kept me cycling in the Balkans for 2 years without any problems.
felt cg Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 thanks for the feedback.Looks like I need to decide on components for the superlight now.Maybe a X0 Sram build kit.
perp Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 go for the cruz, why would you wanna ride anything else?
BikerBoy Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I'd go for the SC. It is a great bike, and its lighter and faster than most bikes.
taygan Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Yes go for SRAM X0 components!!!!! taygan2009-01-09 13:14:49
felt cg Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 Made my decision and bought the Santa cruz Super Light.For the weight weenies - medium frame,anodised grey with RP23 shock 2380g. Also got Sram XO build kit and waiting on a hope headset at the moment.Bike to be built next week. By the way,got a little ahead of myself - birthday is only in November.
Konaman Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I had a Santa C superlight for about 2 years. Was a great bike but a bit sluggish up the hills. My Kona i have now, is much more efficient and has farr less bobbing
