my cheeta was red. its in my shop stripped down at the moment, i need a few more bits to build it back up. draco was some guys i knew & worked with when i went to college in Rochester NY. they were active over on PB at the time.this one wasn't mine, but it was one of the 3 built at the time. mine had slacker geometry. it had something like a 63 or 64 degree head angle, which was almost unheard of at the time it was built (2006). it was also super low, bb height was like...

Agree with Bracken fwiw on comments for the most part. Have been Vital member for some time but rarely post as the comment section seems clunky and barren. 2 biggest standouts that would increase my usage: 1 - single page load (all comments with the article) 2 - compact design, easy to scroll all and reply Content is/has always been great, no change needed. There’s a huge number of PB users miffed at this first news. Wait til the pay structure comes in, and that group with the gripe will actively be looking to jump ship. Opportunities…

Wowser thread necro, but interesting none the less! I've had a few bikes since my original post. 2015 Norco Range 2013 Scott Gambler 10 2017 Orange Crush S 2019 Commencal Clash Essential Fox Clash and Crush are my current rides. Clash has just had a big strip down and service, also received some SlikGraphics Custom decals for the forks, shock and wheels. Bike is looking so slick now, will have to update the bike check soon.

Multi-tier threading can get a bit annoying. Pinkbike's was simple. Compact with only one tier under the main comment. Made it easy to stay on topic and follow a conversation. Vital's comments are a lot like a Reddit thread, which I tend to avoid.
