[@eliasrenner555]

Beautiful bike! I've got the 5010 in the same colour and I love it! Although it's more of a Bronson as I've set it up currently 😁

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! Heck yeah!

[@buvulfugar1122]

I got a V 10 frame then i put öhlins suspensions (on my other V 10 i had fox 40 and wanted to see how öhlins feel) then renthal gandlebars, beautiful red grips and pedals both tires were from Cannibal brakes from magura, the seddle i used it from a specialized street bike(i ordered one) bcs it was very comfortable. And that is my dream build

[@andrewbrown9327]

Don’t worry. I’ll keep you right! You rode a white V10 way back when you were around 13 I guess. We bought it from McGloan. 😎

[@LewisBuchanan]

Cheers

[@johnmorrison8351]

[@sebastianluptak433]

I think you should get yt capra as an enduro bike🔥🤟

[@LewisBuchanan]

That’d be cool

[@MyBetsie]

Lovely looking bikes. Hopefully you don't suffer from rear flats and mechanicals like the syndicate did. Jackson rode lower spoke count to make it more complaint.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Interesting

[@Emtbtoday]

Sweet bro! I loved my Boxxers on my old Atx one back in the day can only imagine what there like now love a go! Just bought my first emtb in 15 years man had a major bad accident n then life took over etc ken the story lol but went and got one them cube action team 160s for a first bike back in the game fox 38s 170mm 160mm fox float carbon frame n bars things just soo different to my old bikes 😂😂 making myself sound ancient im 39 next month but never had my new bike out yet this geometry is going to be so different gonna be a laugh anyway wish still had the ATX one to compare it to in a blast about

[@LewisBuchanan]

Nice!

[@james.knight.68]

sick bike! I want one.

[@LewisBuchanan]

🫡💪🏽

[@gaffney92]

Wow another SC V10...... 🎉😮

[@LewisBuchanan]

😂

[@lennoxreilly7264]

Yoooo I just built nearly the exact same bike only big difference is the brakes and wheels 🔥

[@LewisBuchanan]

Sick.

[@Chip_in]

New bike day. The red rocket ⛳

[@LewisBuchanan]

Yeeess

[@jonasgustaf4464]

The bike is siiiiiick

[@LewisBuchanan]

Yup

[@minecraftmania13]

sick one!!!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Cheers

[@Coolcmsc]

Well, at least we agree on one thing: if it’s not going to be an Atherton 200, then there is just one other worthy of you; the V10. Further, if I can’t have one, then the only person I’m not jealous of having one is the one and only you Lewis 🎉
PS: I really was up for Delium tyres, but they somehow managed not to sell them in the U.K. despite your efforts. As for MAXXIS, not a problem there, although the Conti’s have been a revelation. Maybe save those for the Ather200….? 😅

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks!

[@Coolcmsc]

@@LewisBuchanan PPS; Benn rocking an SC Bullit for 3 yrs in my 60’s and I haven’t found anywhere that awesome frame hasn’t looked after me 🎉

[@PeterSandHansen]

Sick setup! I dont like the subtle differences in the red color though. But I’m also a little neurotic about such..

[@LewisBuchanan]

Cheers

[@harleymcclelland8029]

Great bike

[@LewisBuchanan]

Cheers

[@JoshAllenberg]

I swear evolution only sells V10s
Also I wish I could find deals on burgtec stuff. Definitely goes with my theme. Jealous

[@shredthetrack6858]

Siiiiick!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Yup! Thanks

[@pubfixture]

That rear hub sounds like a Japanese Zero, kamikaze-dive-bombing Pearl Harbor.

[@LewisBuchanan]

🥴

[@droneboy1562]

I actually got it right 😂... complete guess... looking forward to seeing you send this hard 💪

[@LewisBuchanan]

[@controlpluse1256]

[@LewisBuchanan]

Nice

[@Dien_Vo]

Hey hey, just wondering how heavy you are and what spring rate did you end up settling with? Thanks dude 👊🏾

[@Berberien]

I bouht the last v10.7 because I knew the 8 was coming and asked for a better deal, I also suspected the parts would be similar so I went for it and turns out I was right. so Basically got a brtand new v10 cc x01 for the price of just frame and fork. and now I can buy the newest frame if my current one gets wrecked or I feel for an upfrade and still save like 1k XD

[@LewisBuchanan]

Nice

[@darkness789]

Bummer man one too many v10s out there. You should’ve gone back to the beginning and got the forbidden super dreadnaught

[@LewisBuchanan]

I don’t see many of these new v10’s out there 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@scarygary4277]

I swear Maxxis tires are the only tires you can put on and seal with a floor pump and no sealant.

[@LewisBuchanan]

They are sweet

[@fabbike1805]

un bike de tueur ..(killer machine )

[@LewisBuchanan]

💪🏽

[@Emtbtoday]

Now that's a nice mud gaurd to the hugger what kind is that one on front?

[@xpanco]

I was expecting a different setup....fox/ohlins forks _ cane creek/ohlins rear shock with Ti spring _ carbon bars....carbon rims ...still an amazing Santa Cruz

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks

[@benphillips1149]

That thing looks amazing, you ever got plans to try a demo or enduro from spesh? Seems like you're ticking off every brand of bike!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! Maybe a demo at some point

[@PaulGledhill-s2n]

Dope!

[@LewisBuchanan]

[@LewisBuchanan]

I’d loved the raw. Awesome bike

[@johnymadball]

What rear hub is that? Sounds sick.

[@LewisBuchanan]

🤫

[@ostankovalex1176]

Wonder if you'd try a Rocky Mountain Slayer. Dunno... wasn't stoked about SC, as they are good and nothing rly special about them. I just wonder what you would think about some rare bikes like Yeti sb1656, etc
great bike anyway!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Hmm not super into rock and their dh bike. I don’t think they make a dh bike anymore anyway

[@ostankovalex1176]

@@LewisBuchanan thought you were more into the freeride/park category :)
ye, no DH bike there currently

[@dennisvelling3764]

Super nice v10, I have a question what brand is your wheels??
