V frame had no diff. as 400, 500, 700, same weight tho, can only match with h.s.
So-called new DL h.s. surely gives surprise 2 1st time can-d riders, esp da lock out on-da-fly, take u 2 da sky.
Coda Expert Wheelset, super light, gives u courage 2 uphill SFU.
Skinny IRC tires, slippery on boob-shape rocks.
Sofa-Feel with Coda seatpost with Fox Float.
Handle area 2 close 2 shifter, WEAKEST POINT.
Prefer 2 b a cross.c, not PURE downhill.
