Wouldn't need to go into debt, but all the same I do try and keep a budget.

Found a lightly used custom built pitch for a decent price and pulled the trigger last night. Should get here tomorrow. Thanks guys. Who knows though, maybe I'll be searching for my next am bike :P

Please post pics and a review :rocker: Pitch looks like an awesome choice for the riding you mentioned.

maybe check out Edmonds cycles in burnaby. They had some 08 norco demo bikes for pretty cheap. top of the line spec(xtr,etc) for pretty cheap and they were barely used.

Yes props to that This shop i have been dealing with for a while Great service.Any one looking for a great deal even used bikes.
Should have got a Blur lt,or yes the Red Nomad at Edmonds that has sat there for ages but it has air shock by Fox,Elixers,Lyric up front.

If I have a chance after a month or two of riding I'll post pics [HTML_REMOVED] a review in here. One of the big reasons I grabbed it, is I want a little bike to explore whistler valley trails with this September (month long vay-cay :))

Very possibly in the future after I ride it for a while: 34 tooth [HTML_REMOVED] 11-36 10speed cassette, with chainguide :drool:

Finally had a chance to finish building this and take it out for a quick ride. It feels super nice! measured at 66* hta with my iphone angle finder, and 13.5" static bb. I'm liking how it all adds up!

Remedy. No question… I have nothing else. Except… the bike is spectacular.

Yeah post pics!!! Or pic.
And if you do get a chance to run the 34-11-36 gearing let us know how that works out. I was going to run a 32 up front and a 11-36 in the rear of my 37lb Norco Six but found it too much of a pain in the cheeks to get it up any long climbs. Just wondering if the lack of 7lbs would make the diff.

Did you measure these with a pike? or with a 160mm fork?

I may be in the market for a new little bike and I'm thinking that the pitch might work really well with my lyrik.

Pike actually. The numbers surprised me a little too, though I'm pretty happy with it for sure.

oh, pic: (not by any means a good one of the bike itself)

That's a handsome ride. Understated class.

After a few more rides, I'm super happy with the pitch. It's by no means the lightest bike out there (no, haven't weighed it) But I'm loving the angles. Some of the tighter climbing switchbacks are interesting but I'm really getting comfortable on it!

Me [HTML_REMOVED] climbing on the other hand…..is taking some time lol.
