Yes, the wait is FOREVER (and I am very lucky), not sure how long the line is now. Looking forward to getting this thing built and trying it out.
SWEET.
I have nothing else to say.

Congrats!
I was on that waiting list, but broke so many bikes/bike parts, I had to cancel:angry: Now I have to save the money again and start at the back of the line. Oh well, I picked up an old used bullit cheap to ride until I win the lottery.
Be sure to review that bright orange thing as soon as you get some miles on it.

Free T-shirt too. Sweet.
That is a very sexy frame. I wish I had one. Maybe next season I'll convince myself to sell my bighit and get one.
sweet bullit:devil:
nice one
thats a very sweet ride
enjoy the feel of a shortish travel bike
with big travel when you need it
i think its up there with the best all round bikes that can take lots of abuse

Reminds me of orange tic tacs!
Crap! I've heard of those- a bike so high-end that SC can leave all the paint that they want in and around the head tube! No facing required! That is SO cool!
(Sorry dude, just bustin')
Nice ride! I thought about looking into one of those as a DH race bike for my gf.

Well, the Dorado MRD X werks is not going to be here for a while (Manitou issues). I'm putting my regualr Dorado on it until then.
Awesome Bike, Awesome fork.

I can't believe it took so long for someone else to notice.
Tcov- Are they doing anything for you?
Acutal frame weight (large) with (ALL) paint and shock with steel spring 10.59lbs

Not sure what you mean?

I think Echo's got an old '97(?) Marz. Z1 lying around.
Sweet frame, man.
All of the paint around the head tube. There should be nothing but bare aluminum. Facing a headtube is when a cutting tool is used to remove all of the paint where the headset contacts the frame. Facing also ensures that the faces (top and bottom) of the headtube are parallel so that the headset cups will install correctly. There is enough paint there that installing the headset could prove difficult.
A Ti spring will drop about a quarter of a pound, and that extra paint will lose another pound
.My V10 actually didn't have that issue. Weird. Must different paint techs or something...
Same with me. I just looked at it in a threatening manner and it fell off.Originally posted by bagtagley
Damn, I need one of those.
Both my SC bikes came with paint in the head tube. Fortunately, it was an SC paint job, so it came off real easy.
ok, just didn't understand the question. No prob with facing.
i want one soooo bad. thinking about selling my bullit and enduro to get one. shoot... think i'll still end up a little short.
looks flexy.
That is one yummy bike. I love the color and the frame. Have fun riding that bike!
I can't tell from the picture-does it come with the rear axle?
bwahhaa classic DRB
Lucky u got one now, i called up sc to order one for a customer and the wait is untill july for one, whats the deal with manitou that you mentioned? im building up a new v10 and i was gonna put the works on it, i was planning on calling next week to order, are they backed up or somethign because that would suck.
was out riding this morning, and noticed my local shop just put a full built with superT flat black one in the window. had not noticed it before, not sure how long they have had it? Looks not too bad, but I will stick to my ASX, not dreaming of a VP free at all, sorry.
was there a point to your post or just pissing on somebody elses parade?
