Did'nt slinger ride one at the bike show this year. Looks like he is riding a T-pro on the swtc video and them drop gaps were not small either. Really, though there are lots of snapped T-pro's because that many peaple buy them, say if 500 t-pros were sold and 10 snapped after a year where as another frame only sold 250 and 8 of them snapped. Peaple would say the second were the stronger frame because less have snapped but they did'nt sell as many either so... Hopefully you see what I'm getting at . My view is get one, there a decent cheap frame, but if you have the extra cash get a Zoo, Echo or something like that, Hope this helped.
