According to the 2005 catalog the V130 has a 24" taper

Winner winner-Chicken Dinner!

I believe that the 130 is the correct answer as well.

I thought some of the True onepieces had a complete taper.

for you guys that have had an XXX and the 87 flex, does it feel whippier or stiffer than an 85?

To me, Bauer 87 flex feels slightly stiffer than an Easton 85. Bauer also offers a Sr.77 flex that feels a little bit whippier than an Easton 85 flex.

From the "stick flexing sucks/customers suck" thread, a few people claimed that an 87 flex is an 87 flex, period and regardless of manufacturer (and that therefore, there is no point in flexing sticks in a store to compare relative flexiness). If these people are right then by definition the 87 MUST be stiffer than an 85, period. Anecdotally I am not sure if this is true, but there you go.
