Been building it up for 6 months now and finally got out on it today and it's epic, brilliant all rounder. Anybody else out one to share ?

Awful colour scheme, Im sure it rides well. Those tires look a bit thin though?

I've long wanted a Pitch, but opted for a Marin 140 instead. I didn't realise just how long in the top tube the Pitch is...

needs a bit of dirt on the white bits in my opinion.

never understood using white on things that are going to end up brown.

black is the new black

Ohh, any excuse... completely standard 'L' model, except a 690mm bar, mushroom gill grips, better saddle. Generally O/E eskar tyres have been great, occasional change to Mountain King 2.2 protections, the brown sidewalls of which go really well with the frame colour 😉

Grid ref. NG 898 643, on a glorious morning in May '09 -

Love the bike, just always get a feeling I'm not doing it justice. Then think, sod it, it's mine, why should I ride to other peoples perspectives?!

Damn will have to take an up to date pic of mine!
I have upgraded it a bit, (2009 model)
Sunline V1 710mm bars with Sunline V1 stem, Hope headset, Hayes Carbon brakes with 203mm rotors front & back! Mavic Crossline wheels
SDG belair ti saddle, DMR V12 pedals. Various tyre choices, currently schwalbe racing ralph on rear and single ply maxxis minion super tacky on front. (I got a bit fed up with the Eskar front washing out from under me).
Rides really well, very fast when you point it down.
Still not keen on the bronze colour but hey ho I bagged it new for under a grand so . . . . .

In fairness, unless you're a pro racer than very, very few people do their bikes justice. I know that in the hands of a truly skilled rider my bike would be capable of loads more than I put it through. But I enjoy riding it so frankly couldn't care less. 🙂

Maybe not favoured on singletrack, but loved by MBUK and WMB 😉
Heres what Guy Kesteven posted to me on facebook ' The only reason that wasn't one of the shortlisted bikes in the WMB bike of the year was because Spesh told us they weren't going to get anymore. Eejits!
Anyway you are lucky enough to have one ' and he knows a thing or two about bikes I think! 😆
