Now if you cut me open I would have Intense written through me but I am quite liking the Transition Bottlerocket's. Anyone have one?
I quite fancy a playbike with a longish toptube and a fair bit of standover. Looking at an Intense SS but the specs on the Bottlerocket have the top tube longer (not by much) and standover less (again not by much).
Pics if you have please.
What about an Orange Blood? Pretty similar to a Bottlerocket but I know from when I was looking last year (tape measure in hand) that they are pretty long in the toptube. The small measures 22" centre to centre.
My small SS is 21.5 centre to centre (spot on for me). I'd like to think I've found my ultimate ride . . . [i]awaits flaming 😉 [/i] . . . like a Tazer, on steroids. Plenty of cush for skill compensation but the propedal shock still gives some pop for the jumpy stuff. Oh and it goes up hill too 😀
Blood is too pricey (and its an Orange!). Would love an SS, seen yours on MTBR, just missed one in the US yesterday in raw. Pillock agreed to ship to someone in the US and I was going to pay his full price ($950), go to buy it now and he accepted an offer of $850 instead 👿
I have heard that the SS and the Uzzi VP climb quite well and as there aren't many mountains in Suffolk, should be ideal!
Already got a Tazer HT and a Tazer FS should be here next week. They are the older ones though 2003 and not the nice VP ones.
Curly you still after the Tazer then?
Havn't heard from you mate?
Transition Bottle Rocket is reviewed in the next issue of Singletrack. Matt liked it a lot.
It did appear to come with its own extra gravity field though 🙂
Jae, still having the Tazer. Payment will be sent tomorrow. Been busy with the kids.
Chipps - Looking forward to next month's issue already. Has Sim ridden it? Be nice to compare to his Intense SS. As its a toss up between Bottle Rocket or SS.
...what about a blur 4x??? -mine's up for sale in the classifieds!?
