6" on the new ones, 5" on the pre 02 ones...

Sweet rig too, they air pikes?

[smevvie]

they are 05 Pike Coil SL's

[schwing]

I like it ... a lot.
Like to give those pikes a go, but pricey for me right after a full build.

[Gripper]

man she'd be a fun trail bike...........

you could save close to another 1kg by changing out that 5th ele coil for an air as well as.......5th airs are really nice

loosing a chainring or two ie.36t x 11-34t casette covers a lot of ground as far as gearing goes..........give it a try

Richie always has been one to like the Santa Cruz proddy...........Very nice indeed mate, loving the spec, I have always had a soft spot for the lighter of the Santa Cruz range. Actually I have always had a soft spot for the entire santa cruz range.

right now im riding the trails and doing some smaller drops and jumps on it, i dont think i've bottomed it out yet....or maybe im not trying hard enuf ! its versatile enough to ride xc, and blast through the rough downhills at super high speed
