New Bullit is here

It looks pretty sweet.

2007 Bullit

Looks good. Pretty much addressed all the shortcomings on the old frame. Looks pretty similar to the old one though. However, I do have to wonder........at US$1200 maybe there are just too many other options at that price these days?

Looks good.

With the 150mm rear, floating brake, lifetime pivot bearing warranty and 1.5 headtube, it looks like they've addressed pretty much every complaint about the old Bullit while still keeping the familiar styling (albiet with a few changes).

Hey Poser, thanks for posting almost exactly what I had to say, but typing it out faster

Awful lotta hype for a single pivot design that has been around for a long time.

Looks awsome..

What did you expect? There's not much you can do to alter a single pivot.

Now you know my typing speed!

As far as Geology's comment. The Bullit was a huge seller for SC with a strong, almost cult like following. They didn't need to change much, there's other models for that (Nomad, VPFree) they just needed to update it.

Hopefully (for SC) technology (or the marketability of technology) hasn't surpassed the Bullit in it's absence.

I found my 04 bullit to be a great bike despite the single pivot. The main thing it suffered from was lateral stiffness and a bit of brake jack, and it looks like SC has adressed the problems fairly well. I don't know if I'll buy another one, but at that price for frame only it's a pretty smokin deal. Then and again for another chunk of cash the VP-free is preeeetty nice.

I didn't expect them to change much. I know it is a solid frame, best bud rides one can't say enough good.

I was more surpised about the amount of hype the frame was getting. The did some minor fixes, but this isn't anything revolutionary. Yet we were treated to spy photos, a launch website, front page news. They got a lot of milage out of the rerelase of this frame. Good advertising on their part.

What? - LIFETIME BEARING REPLACEMENT - that is huge. If they had kept the old design and only done that, then that would have been a huge step up. Does anyone else offer this?

I am stoked to see them finally release it - looks like its going to be a huge hit - build it how you want, a do it all bike just like the nomad, but half the cost.

Wow.

Really impressed with the new out-board-bearing-like setup for the main pivot.

Any more info on that Cam? Are all model's going to be re-vised with that setup?

The short bearing life that people have always complained about with the VP bikes might be thing of the past.

Good move SC.

[apeshape]

Yep, Its a Bullit.

I really liked my 03 but I am sucker for the VP suspension now so I kinda wish SC had made a 6" VP ride out of it but this new version should satisfy the Bullit-core.The lifetime warranty is just pure customer satisfaction guaranteed from the good bikes people at SC.

A good single pivot is as good as anything. I think people are reading way too many magazines.

I think that people who love the Bullit, will always love a Bullit. They ride really nice and if you are a Bullit guy, you shouldn't ride anything else.
