    on the vpp intense bike check out the lower link after some one rides it for awhile, its just a little bit to wide and the chain hits the link, causing it to loosen up easy fix if you know about it you could always make a small slider for the chain ..prob wouldnt be a prob on a single ring big bike



    Anyways, I have a blue bike with orange stickers on the fork coming, the cockpit feels perfect on the bike, and the geo is perfect for socal

    If you've got to climb, like we do in the Central Coast, I'd go with something with a VPP. The new Santa Cruz Driver 8 should be on your list. Also, don't forget that half of your pedal effort can be affected by sticky compound tires that are run at 18 lbs. A dual tread compound seems to help quite a bit.
