[bullcrew]

Very nice, Love V-10s total beast nice build like the bits of blue on it...

 

[time-bomb]

Hmmmm, where's the Manitou suspension?

Nice rig. It looks really sharp

 

[William42]

looks obsolete.

But seriously, cool bike.

 

[dropmachine]

looks E-obsolete.

Fixed

that bike is every bit as relevant as it ever was, and its still faster then 90% of the riders on it.

Badass build!

The E is a given - this is the internet after all

I have never had anything but respect for the v10 as a fast awesome bike. I almost got one myself, but santa cruz kept promising "2 days from now" for a month and I got sick of getting my hopes up and then having them crushed, and ordered a session 88. I'm probably banned for life on EP'ing one of them, which probably puts them out of my grasp for a number of years, but hopefully one day I'll get to own one, whatever iteration is out.

that looks like a pretty rad build.

great looking bike man, way to do a build without going overboard with color that wont be 'cool' next year...super clean.

The bars uncut? I ordered some Atlas bars as well to replace my worn out Dirty30s. Im most likely going to cut em down to 30. How does 31 feel though, and have you ridden 30s?

dude man stellar rig

 

[manitouman28]

Thanks guys, I'm really happy with how this bike turned out. The V10 really does feel like a cloud floating down the trail. The thing rips.

Ya the bars are 31 inches wide. Before I got them I figured I would be cutting them down, but after a couple rides I think they feel mint. I was running some 28" chromag flat bars on my demo 8 last year. But I've had some 30" Boobars on my Reign X for over a season now, so I'm used to a wider bar.
