    Very nice colours of the bike.
    It's one of the best looking bike I've seen at bikeradar.

    Nice bike, really, but what the hell is going on with that saddle?

    Does it have a built-in mudguard?

    Nice but a bit too clean for my liking. :D

    Has the Fox RP2 made any real world difference?

    How much better are the brakes, or is it just bling factor?

    - Hope Hoops 5.1D's
    - Maxxis Ignitor 2.35 eXCeption front & rear

    the mudguard is just zip tied on, I just hate getting a wet backside :oops:

    TBH at first I thought I'd wasted my money on the RP2 as there didn't seam much between that and the x-fusion but after 4-5 rides I can now really can tell the difference especially on tarmac with the propedal on, and it was a bargain off CRC for £150.
    The Juicys are so much better then the strokers. don't get me wrong the strokers are amazing but fell a little bit on/off where the juicy's have more feel to them, plus I already had them on another bike so just did a straight swap
    I would like to see your recent photos.

    Don't have time to cut grass, too busy out riding :)

    surely that mudguard doesn't stop much, what with it being so high?

    Looks sweet - I like the red and blue thing going on.

    For my Pitch, I just got some Maxxis High Rollers, Specialized Rocca lock-on grips and changed the saddle for an old BG one off my hardrock (actually quite a lot better than the standard one). Will post some pics soon.

    Steve_b77 how is the charge spoon saddle and what colour did you get? Thinking of getting one - guessing the brown would go ok with the brown Pitch Pro? :o

    Nice Bikes.

    Has anyone compared the ride feel to a enduro? and if yes which would you rather have.

    Been looking at enduros off late but is it worth the extra cash.

    Steve, What are those Conti tyres like? I am looking to replace my Resolution Pros for something more grippy over roots and mud, yet still rolling fast on hardpack.

    deadpool2e - I tested an Enduro before getting the Pitch. They feel pretty similar but I actually prefer the forks and rear shock on the Pitch to the Spesh own brand stuff. I didn't like the big triple crown forks on the Enduro, felt a bit unwieldy. The rear suspension felt plusher to me on the Pitch too.

    Here's mine: :P
