Any pictures?

Ransom 30 frame is calling my name on bobsbicycles...

No seriously... it called out to me in my dreams last night.

Something about saving the world if i purchased it by the end of this weekend.

RacinJason · 09-02-2007, 02:16 PM

Nope . I have looked at them. Interesting shock but for me its too many moving parts to wear out.

Scott has been using its own shocks in the Genius range for a while, and the Equalizer shock in the Ransom is an evolution from those. To say that there's a hell of a lot going on with this shock is to severely abuse the term "a lot". It's got more more valves and levers than a saxophone shop and so many chambers that it's a wonder there isn't a law firm in there somewhere.

There is no such article

That's what I got.

I saw a review of older ones on mtbr but nothing too conclusive as in an article in a magazine or anything.

looks like a nice frame that is light but like you guys said, that shock is kinda odd although you can swap out the shock for a normal one if you feel the need.

Is the 30 similar to the 20? Check this out.

A friend of mine has a carbon framed Ransom. He likes it, but probably couldn't give much useful additional feedback.

I picked it up and it felt like there was an odd weight bias toward the rear of the bike like I have not felt on any other bike. He's got the exact same fork as I do on my Reign, so it seemed out of the ordinary to me. That shock looks like a door closer to me.

The Ransom 30 is aluminum, not carbon fiber.

Let Scott ride his own bike, get your own.

There's probably medication you can take to treat that...
