proto wins, the geometry on that bike looks so messed up, the front end is so steep.


holy fuck look at the rise on the bars on the bb7, why the hell would u want a higher front end with the supermonster :eek2:

:eek: Holy steep Batman!
Me thinks that's one of the tallest bikes I ever saw. Ditto goes for that BigHit
So, I probably gots to say go with the BB7, because it's probably not a skyscraper.

if you get the bb7, get rid of the bars. WAY too tall. just get a higher-reach stem. 4" rise bars are stupid, for sure... it almost got to a point where it was a competition to see who had the tallest bars...

proto's vps4 has really steep geometry. theoretically, it definately isn't ideal for dh runs... but, he'll argue that. and for good reason - i've heard he and the discoman really tear up a-line... :P :cool:


think you'll be happy with either though - once you get some weight (for sag) on the vps 4, the bike oughta become a little more neutral. even more so, with a softer spring...

I seen that asian guy go faster on a-line faster than most of the asian drivers on bc roads.
