Yeh I didn't choose the colour scheme. The bike came pretty much like that (the bars I had from before as I used them at the end of last season on a non white bike, but the bars if did come with were white anyway) I have a different wheel set for it with black Mavis 721 rims on it and when the grips wear out I will be getting a different colour.
post your 2010 rides!

Seriously. Don't people read the What's hot and What's not thread? Keep up with the times.
still changing parts for 2010
Funny as most of the parts I need are still the easiest to get in white
Just got this frame 3 days ago, so I guess it's my ride for 2010!
Never run a Roco before, so curious to see what it's all about, and I'd prefer a Boxxer WC over the 888, but I got that thing CHEAP and I forgot how plush they are! Sitting at JUST under 40 as it is...

That was the plan if I didn't like it. I like a lively(or "springy" as my hucker bud calls it) suspension, and it sounds like the Roco actually fits that bill. We'll see after 3 feet of snow melts, I guess!
Here's mine..... might get some new rims......but that's it.

it is fast, trust me!
Will continue ride on my session next year! New crankset and a set of new tires is on the list, then she´s ready to go!

I just find out today that my A-line 2007 is cracked at the shock mount. Hopefully i'll get a brand new frame on warranty and sell it to buy a revolt.

are they the drop crowns or how do you have your forks set up?
Now got a carbon mudplate, some nice neat velcro to replace that tube, and some moto foam, but it works.
i have the flat crowns on mine and the just sit about 2mil below the top of the stanchions.
nice looking bike, dude!
parabolic adjusters? what the hell are those?Same bike as last year with some upgrades.
Already done:
Push Boxxer upgrade
Coming this winter:
Rebuild Double barrel and add parabolic adjusters
Avid Code
New wheels
maybe cranks
geez! You are putting my searching skills to the test with questions like that.
"Tapered needles are gone, in come parabolic adjuster needles. Tapered needles do adjust oil flow, but in a non-linear fashion. So the oil flow values increase as you get closer to each end of adjustment, whereas by using a parabolic needle, adjustments are now linear and more noticeable throughout the range, rather than at the beginning or end of the range."

I've only been out on it twice since I swapped everything over, once at a new local spot and another more familar area to try & get the setup right.
I will do a comparison when I have had some time on it hopefully over the festive season. We have a couple of uplifts booked and some other stuff so should be good to get an idea.
Will see how I get on, I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with the Sunday. The first time I rode it, it put me off the bike for over 4 months with an injury so maybe I never really trusted it, or gave myself the time to adapt to it. I always felt comfortable with it, just not 'fast'.

Maybe it's only me but when the bike feels not fast it usually means it's stable and confidence inspiring. I always feel non fast after a trip to some gnar track but in reality it makes me want to pin and I really go faster than usual. Maybe it was the same in your case or maybe I'm just imagining things.
There's a decent comparison over on pinkbike between the v10 sunday and empire. It doesn't really go anywhere, but it illustrates some differences.
I would love to own one if A) they weren't cast B) they showed some benefits by being cast, like lower price or weight or something. As is, it sounds like they're decent bikes but almost a novelty vs. tubing.

Hmmm I think I know the comparison you mean, not knocking the guy that did it he's a racer that's a shed load faster than me but it wouldn't have been how I would have chosen to compare the bikes using the particular part of the track he did.
No one said it couldn't be a 4x bike...
