Hey,

Has anyone looked at the Giant VT1 prototype and finished bikes? The rear linkage looks similar to the Hollowpoint, but I am guessing it will ride differently, and my untrained eye just doesn't realize the differences.

Anyone heard anything about these bikes? Anyone have any comments about the linkage after taking a look at the pictures?

You can take a look here: (I can't get them to work as URLs, but they work if you cut and paste)

I've heard that they're the Best Ever, only exceeded by bikes further off in the future, such as the Intense VPP design.

That prototype didn't show up in the US catalog that was "sneak-peeked" in the DH/DS forum... a different VT model did. I'm guessing that the version you're thinking of will not be released in the US due to patent violation.

I could be completely wrong though.
