Definitley going SS on the ToP. I'm looking at buying the e.thirteen STS chainguide/bashguard for my current setup, then if I ever go complete SS with no chain tensioner and all that stuff, I'll just ditch the chainguide and use the bashguard. I was looking into the Vagrant, but I decided the only time i trailride/freeride is at whistler every summer, where I just rent out thier kona stabs, which my friend and I both seem to break everytime we go there. So anyways, I think the ToP is a better choice for my riding. Must say the Vagrant is sick though.
