Bottom Line:
What a great handler, even with worn pins and corroded bushings. I wish this frame would last forever. I extend my sincere compassion to all those who bought these framesets at $2000 plus only to have the frame fail and the company dwindle. I invite all VPP3 owners to contact me! Perhaps an owners forum is needed. Good value if you purchase cheap and re-weld a bit.

This frame rode more plush than any other frame I've ever ridden! period. If you want to ride have fun and be comfortable enough to go fast + with the co oos a frame is less costly only buy the new welded bottom so 98-only (buy it if you can worry about the bushings later jjm
