Heres mine with 160mm fork, handles very well but can be a bit of a handfull in the really tight stuff, rides well everywhere else especially downward.

Nearly finished my pitch build i opted for 140mm and a triple chainset for those long rides. Got any pics of your build

Mine with talas 36's handles fine, I'm considering converting them to vans as I never bother dropping them to 130

A lot, lot better downhill!

Coil Lyriks, Magura Louise brakes, double+bash, beefy Sun SOS/Hope wheels, flat pedals, High Rollers, uppy-Downy Post.

As a Pitch should be. ๐Ÿ˜€ (Only a coil shock left to add!)

If I do get a coil shock, I'll be keeping the RP2 for resale/XC purposes, sorry ๐Ÿ™‚

Running mine with Talas 36rc2 and DHX Air 5.0 on back. It climbs so much better than myold 02 Enduro with less lost in pedal bob and goes downhill pretty good as well.

How do you post pics up?

Not much inspirational here, totally box-standard apart from new grips, saddle + better SPD's... in last years STW Classic Weekender

Doubtful my abilities could make use of any upgrades anyhow. Oh, I did put a mudguard on!

Here's mine. I'd have kept it if there were any serious hills to speak of locally. It ended up with Traversees and a few other tarty bits on it for a strong(ish) light(ish) build. Suited the 150 Revelations very well.
