sweet bike looks realy clean and stealth but if it its a team bike why the hell are you running that gamut with all those e-13 parts put an lg on there and make it right. But sweet ass bike none the less

 

[Bicyclist]

That's definitely one of the nicest V-10s I've ever seen. Congrats!

Yea, you are right, i only got frame and fork from the team...the other parts in the build are coming from my old bike.

1. You should get Fox 40s/SRAM/I9s/Maxxis etc...
2. Looks flexy
3. How much does it weight?
4. That bike looks sick
5. Your chain is on backwards

That should cover/omit all the retards here.
Nice bike.

6) does it come in rootbeer?

 

[juanbeegas]

Very nice, both the bike and the pics. The pics are so clear it almost looks photoshop-ed!

 

[William42]

[mushik]

do you always get last year's WC champion bike?
it's becoming a pattern, you know...

that's a fine stallion you got there

 

[Vena]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I need an advice, does the protective films work to protect the frame from the scratch? I think that black color it's preatty easy to scratch, so i was wondering at something to protect it.

Ahah no, just lucky to have sc's importer sponsorship but you are right i think they are selling a lot of V10 this year...

Hey, congratulations! Your bike looks awesome!
For the downtube definitely get some clear protective film, the black paint does show some scratches after a while. Also cover all the angles with cable rubbing. And there is this little spot next to the carbon fiber mudguard where the chain sometimes slaps. I super glued little pieces of thick neoprene there.
If you ride a lot in the mud, get some paint polish. Rubbing your shorts with mud against the top tube will leave some marks after a while.
Here is mine:

Thanks Cecily. I too love devices that are extremely east to operate.

Yeti, isn't covering a bike with sticky plastic and bits of an old wet suit to protect its looks something of a canard? I mean, it's going to get scratched, and clearly the reason it was black in the first place was so that it can be easily touched up with a can of exhaust paint

nice ride !

If u get the right clear plastic and do a clean job, it will be really hard to discern. Might not look as pretty as a new frame but it will look better after a few months of use than if you didn't have put the plastic on it. And the neoprene bits are really tiiiiiny. I know eventually it will get scratched and I don't care, I just try to avoid it in the first place and if it happens, it happened.

Yea Cecily, i will get a GPS on my bike!
