Just like my marriages...Does it go twice as fast
Stink, give me a couple of weeks and I'll post up.

The first hardtail I will own since '96.

Here's mine....not quite the beauty queen that Stinkys is, but I love her...
Long since gone but wish I still had it.
Like I said in your for sale thread...your bike is in amazing shape. Mine looks like death warmed over. It's been an awesome bike though which is why I have just kept upgrading it. I love how it rides and how it fits me...but this winter I'm shopping for a new ride.An insult disguised as a compliment?
took this shot for a friend of mine
Old pic of the wilson.
I've always like the look of those bikesOld pic of the wilson.
Not the best pic, nor a total Orange bike, but my wife's VP Free has an orange swingarm (she wanted the bike to have a Halloween theme, hence the color combo) -
Notice the snow! That race was cold (as you can tell by my expression...)

Surprisingly out of all the various bikes I've owned, I've never owned an orange one. Hrmmm. Must change that sometime. 
it's kind of orange...the ridemonkey sticker makes up for it
Wow - nice... ridden it like that since?
The biggest I've gone is 10' down at the pit, but that was awhile ago. I'm getting too old and replacement teeth are too expensive.Wow - nice... ridden it like that since?
My old Suser 8 (and a bit):
Bad Karma bike that one, hated me like the dickens.....

No orange bike, but there is not one single color I want more. I want pearl orange, a lot. I think I will paint my Monocog.
here's mine
Sweet, I can play now.
It has been way too many years since I owned a hardtail.
In the first week I had it, I did two long trail rides one of which includes a rough local DH race course on the loop. I went to a slalom course twice,
and I hit my jumps at my house on it.
It lives up to its name.

Is that the Slope Style? Mine is on it's way.Here's my orange beauty:
Just out of curiosity, did you consider going w/ a cove handjob? Essentially the same bike, but made out of steel in Canada.Sweet, I can play now.

I just had my Sunday powder coated Fluorescent Orange...it messes with cameras in the worst way...
Nice Chameleon!!Sweet, I can play now.

Super nice. I didn't realize that SC redesigned it. TT/seatstay/ST junction is sweet.
Hey Burly,
Yeah I did. Actually I considered every single hardtail on the planet.
I knew what geometry I wanted and also frame size was important.
I needed to build one hardtail, that was a slalom race bike, a DJer and a trail bike. The geometry on the chameleon was a little tighter than the Handjob with shorter chainstays, and my top tube is 22.5.
On a slalom course it feels perfect, but its a small bike on the trails.
I went with a layback post which helps some as well.
This bike was not going to be my main trail bike, bit if I was building a hardtail for trail only, I probaly would have ended up on a steel frame designed for trails like the handjob.
Let's not forget that an aluminum frame's larger tubes has more room for bee stickers.
MMM orangey.
I win worst photo.

it really is that bright, reflective orange paint custom done by a friend
Its a VPX...had I known the Slope Style was coming out, I would have skipped the VPX and gotten that instead.
