    Geometry seems to be rather conservative, than Radical

    Given their less than stellar CS history I'm going to pass.

    Yeah, I'd rather see it get more robust than more fragile.

    If a man was standing in a forest, and no woman was around to hear him, would he still be wrong?

    As much as I loved the looks and weight of the Radical I had, DAMN i was glad to get rid of it. Geometry and suspension performance wasn't really up to date, and working on that thing in the shop... Gives me shrudders just thinking about it.

    I would just like to see the faces of a few of my buddies when they see that picture the first time, given the experience I had with the bike...

    why would you bother, Sunn fix your customer service and stop the alloy one from breaking first. I kinda had a love hate relationship with mine. Loved how light it was and thought the back end worked well but the sizing was wierd, no medium just small and large. The only part on my full build i got whenever they first came out that didnt break was the xo rear mech. In 3 years every part including various parts of the frame broke and they were a disaster to deal with. I waited saved for ages to get mine and was so dissapointed with it after the first year of owning it. Was glad to see the back of it for sure. The carbon one doesnt look great either. I did like to look of the last alloy version they had before they went bang pity it never saw the light of day as far as being in production

    is sunn still around?
    they weren't even able to bring their DH team through the 2012 season, and supply them with bikes.
