shiny. Just about the perfect do everything bike. I can't see a single thing about that bike that I don't like. :thumbsup:

. What does it weigh?

Spokes · *by **Spokes** on Fri 14/Sep/07 10:39am*

32lbs. It could go lighter but it I love it as it is.

(My guess was 31.5 lbs with those tires )

Compares pretty well to my Reign with the same fork at 31.3lbs.

How far does the geavity dropper drop?

Spokes · *by **Spokes** on Fri 14/Sep/07 10:45am*

3". But I find it a bit far, Im thinking of drilling it so it only goes 2".

One of these days I'll actually get round to building this bad boy up, especially since I now live in a town that has tracks to use it on!

Robbie · *by **Robbie** on Fri 14/Sep/07 11:00am*

I have not yet seen one in action, rare they are !

I would say the SS going to be a very hot model. I thought about putting one on order but I dont really use my normal 6.6 to its limits.

a slightly lower bb ( I think they were originally saying 0.4") and a little more slackness would be fine..
The bike would feel more stable but less playfull tho..bloody similar to a short travel Socom I would reckon!
