As in Santa Cruz with a VP Free!!! It's like Christmas in July and I have to say it is even better than I expected.

The VP Free weighed in at 10.0 lbs with the stock steel spring and rear axle. After I put the Ti spring on it should be in the 9.75 lb range. It is almost together and will be complete tommorow night once my bottom bracket arrives. Hopefully, I will get the permission slip to make the 10 hour drive out to Pkill this weekend to try it out. A full report will be avaliable soon.

The red Heckler is mine and the orange heckler is a team mates frame.

Uh, yeah thanks. I am tired but I need to get the bike together tonight. Gotta get off RM and finish as much as possible.

Honestly, I didn't think the polished swingarm was going to look good. But it looks great and makes it stand out.

That is nice! I would happily ride a full stable of Santa Cruz bikes.
