I must say that this prototype looks a lot more like their current all-mountain Xeon frames than the Sonix, though. I've found a much more affordable option than saving up for an El Bastardo...hooray!mMullinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816807077500775572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882098456908653124.post-46347578898991175732009-03-13T21:06:00.000-04:002009-03-13T21:06:00.000-04:00I've had a 26" Sonix since 2006, the platform is g...I've had a 26" Sonix since 2006, the platform is great. AND, I haven't read a poor review on it. The fork I use with my Sonix is currently getting rebuilt by the manufacturer. If you check back in the 2007 Archives you will find more info on my personal Sonix VL120. It is from the same deisgner who brought us the VPP platform. With the VL (Virtual Link), he wanted to take it a set further.

Maybe just because it looks quirky, but it also makes me think it won't be a stable cranking platform...Thoughts?mMullinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816807077500775572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882098456908653124.post-53561947274420067542009-03-12T00:47:00.000-04:002009-03-12T00:47:00.000-04:00I like the color just fine.
