This Pitch has evolved a little since i first got it.
Fox van r 140mm and some quite flat bars and long stem
Changed up the bars and stem to a set i had lying about to sharpen it up a bit
Managed to bend the Front Bontrager wheel up good and proper so it wouldn't clear the frame down at chicksands. New set of Halo SAS's solved that problem
I then had a hankering for some more travel and a slacker head angle so hunted out a set of Domain 302's with U-turn.
Most of my riding is gravity assisted so following that pattern by 'n' large, still rides up no worries though, just drop the fork down.
2010 Large Pitch Frame
Fox Van R shock, soon to fit a 500lb spring as the 450 isn't right
Domain 302 115-160mm U-turn
Halo SAS Rims with a Hope Pro Evo front hub and a shimano rear
3 x 9 XT Running gear for now, plan to switch to 2 x 10 soon.
Avid Elixr 3 brakes 203 front 185 Rear.
DMR V8 pedals
Superstar Excel grips
Ameoba bars
Tioga Cube stem
Crank bros Iodine head set
SDG Ibeam saddle and post.
Any questions or opinions let me know.
I really enjoy the bike and it suits all the riding i do.

Nice bike, I do like white, get a dropper post on it and some white pedals :evil:0
-
dropper would be good, but i have concerns they don't drop low enough
purple pedals!0 -
double and bash next?0

Looks like a proper fun mini downhill bike. Just needs a chain device, double or preferably single chainring with bash or taco guard & a shorter cage rear mech to keep the chain under control.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Most of them drop 5", measure up on your post from it's highest down to where you would drop it to, 5" is a fair amount.nwmlarge wrote:dropper would be good, but i have concerns they don't drop low enough

my intention is to run a single ring up front with an mrp device or similar no bash but with a taco.
i will have a 32 and a 36 tooth ring available for me to swap about depending on whether i'm mostly going up or down.
shorter mech once i've done the front work.
the concern with the dropper is how far you can slam it.
i can dump my post all the way in so it touches the rail clamps which is ideal for jumping about etc, most droppers can only get the rail clamps within about 3inches or so.0 -
You need to ask yourself if you really need to drop it completely down, or only a few inches. I only drop my seat about 3-4 inches even for super techy fast flowing downhill bits, and that is always more than enough room to move around.0

i find the bike quite tall for throwing about to be honest so i would want it totally slammed0

Reverb goes pretty low, if you can get the collar to sit flush to the top of your frame its just over 2inch.
All depends if the seat in high position would be high enough.0 -
indeed!
it seems that perhaps for now droppers aren't quite the ideal solution for me0
