Had this in this afternoon one of our team riders bikes for this season, it's seriously nice bit of kit.

Another DSP Dueler on there too, It's nice to finally have a future proof bike that I can get tuned exactly how I want it without finding out it's flawed in some way.
It goes up well, it goes down well. Would love some Pikes on it....

The new bike after it's first ride :). It replaced a strange alpine five which would have been much less fun round cannock. Fingers crossed it'll still be better when I ride it somewhere with more hills.

Think my old Trance fits the bill:

Loco can't quite see from the pic but I am guessing with it having a coil shock at a mach 6? Haven't seen one before but it does look good. I have only just got my alu mach 5.7 built up. Still need to get that monarch plus back to you to be made to fit this new frame.

Just got my hands on a pivot mach 5.7C but can't post pics off my kindle
@Moda, let me just say, phwoar. How do you find it? Came very close to buying one of those the other day...
The Mach 6 came with a ctd x as standard and we'd fitted one of the Dueler rear shocks as a replacement to try out in stock trim before we strip and modify it a bit 😉
The frame was only in this afternoon and is off to be inviswrapped tomorrow, also have a set of x fusion sweeps to fit to it when it comes back ( got my own set too this week 😀 )
Will post some more pictures as it get built up Dave Buchanan ( whose bike it is) always has a nice build with some interesting touches to finish them properly.

Rides great!!

This is my bad boy. Just been upgraded to 1x10 saint and XTR, saint SMCD chain device and a rather fetching set of blue braided brake hoses!

Loving that Pauly (page 2) and that Rosss (page 3)
@Northwind, So far so good but have only done a few rides and a skills day with the legendary Jedi. Real test will come on the next Wales trip at the end of April.
I'm not Enduro(TM) enough for this thread...... 😉

Here's mine, 1x10 since this pic though.[img]

Cheers Moda!
Here we go, then. Loving it.

Intense 6.6 with Marz 66. Pedals uphill ok, but needs the shock setting for a better platform. Down the other side it's a complete beast.

Loving this so far, esp. the plushness in the forks. Granted it's a heavy (37lbs) beastie but it's good. Might change the tyres which will get it down to 35lbs. Could lose another 2lbs with new Pikes and another lb with light bars/stem and a lb with cane creek air shock, maybe 1/2lb by dropping the guide and putting on a n/w, but all that cash just to bring it down to 30-31lbs isn't worth it to me. My plan is to get strong enough to pedal it uphill fast as it is!

My ugly duckling! Bit weighty by modern standards but it's worth hauling up the climbs for the grins it gives me coming back down. Practically an antique now with it's 1 1/8 headtube, 27.2 seat tube and 26" wheels, I manage ok though! Dual ply wetscream is still on for dh duties, normally run another baron up front for everything else.

How did you actually manage to make it so heavy - how much does the frame weigh?
