    Take the spesh, always get good reviews. I had the 07 as my first full suss and loved it but youd be wise to test before buying.

    another for the spesh. Especially if you're new to the sport, Everyone's got one.....
    but there's a very good reason for that.

    No, the FSR XC has 100mm travel on the rear, the pitch has 140mm I believe. Pitch is a great bike, more burly than the FSR XC and has better forks with a 20mm bolt thru also which you will definately appreciate being 17 stone.

    Hands down take the Pitch.
