nice

how do you like straitlines? are they really so much better than the stock ones?

 

[Killerbarbies]

Way better....once you try them you'll want a pair...they fit one or two fingers perfectly

 

[Orfen]

Nice new bike Killerbarbies. is that the new ano blue or is it paint?
also I didn't know you could fit a flat boxxer crown on a v10. Thought you needed a tall crown? do you have enough exposed upper tube?

 

[X777]

It's beautiful... get JR to post his V10.

Nice bike! Whats the weight?

 

[dhmike]

super nice !

M size headtube on the 08 V10 is 4.7"
L has a 5" headtube and needs the tall Rockshox upper crown.

Very nice build btw

Nice ride!

Double Track rims?! Damn - you aren't messing around. That's basically the same rim as the Mag30 but just ano'ed in black. I've got one of those as a rear rim on practice set - pretty burly and bomb-proof.

Nice build too - the Straitline levers are super-comfy. I have a set on my Hayes Mags and they feel great.

Plush sweet bike.Rip it up!

But i would have gone on a 12 day cruise instead, or bought an early 90's GSXR 1100.

I had a medium 2006 V10 that needed the tall crown Boxxer but the 2008 has a shorter headtube so the flat crown fits..

the frame is powder Liquid Blue

the rims...i'm looking at Mavic EX729 on Hope hubs...that should save me about 600g over what I have there..the Double Tracks are a legacy from when I had a Bullit and not a lot of money.

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

Sweet bike you got there...Once you get some ride time I'd be curious to hear your comparison of your old V10 and the new one.

 

[Killerbarbies]

First impressions...if I said it was a full sus HT...straight line acceleration is far better, all power put down through the pedals seems more translated into forward motion with no noticable side-to-side loss; carves turns and berms a lot quicker with quicker response out of the corners..more flickable simply put

Are you saying this comparing it to the 06 V10?
I also should be getting the new one and I'm stoked....can't wait to ride it.

 

[RMboy]

Nice ride mate. Whens the Ti spring coming for the rear shock then??? hehe

Oh and are you going to send it back to the mother and tot get it PUSHed?

 

[basikbiker]

i might be wrong but i thought those endcaps double as a lock on clamp for the grip??

 

[Killerbarbies]

at the moment I'm waiting on new hoops...Mavic EX729 on Hope 2 hubs in blue...that should save around 600g over the present set up...next in line is a Gamut P30 chainguide and Gravity Light crankset...
