Additional Info

HA: 64.5~ Deg (remeasured with better angle'r) BB: 14.5" (error, remeasured)* rear Travel: 195mm Fork: 180mm I took a chance with this frame and bought it in immaculate condition about 2 years ago. She hadn't been ridden much at the time of purchase. Spent tons of hours building it myself and figuring out/testing what maximized the frame's potential and the geo. VP-Free's are seriously amazing bikes, and they last forever. But, the Geo had to be 'updated' in that sense. After countless mods and hours spent figuring out the small but annoying details, it's all been absolutely worth it and happy to report the bike is fairly nimble, does great in the rough, balanced all-around performance, but all the while being tanky/solid as hell. It's a bike I would catergorize as a Mini-DH/Park bike. Does suffer from some small geo things (sorting it out). But otherwise a great bike. Update: Been really dialing in the bike/suspension. Love the bike. 14.5" BB could be lower, but still, not a huge problem. Going to get a slightly longer stem (more foward weight bias) + 1-1/8" Angleset to slacken the bike to 64. I think this will really help the bike overcome it's slightly older geo and more into a speed-orientated snappy Mini-DH bike.
