Much as I love my Pitch for the sort of big hill riding I hardly ever seem to get the chance to do, it feels too heavy and just too much for the sort of riding I can do locally. I've just bought an mmmbop frame to replace it, and am hoping that it will be a better compromise. Has anyone else made a similar move, and if so, was it a good one?
I've also been kind of thinking that if I really get on with the mmmbop and it rides well on the tight, twisty, flatish singletrack we've got plenty of round here, I might trade it and my ti xc bike for a ragley ti. Am I being foolish? Noone would accuse me of being the most skillful or subtle of riders – would I be able to make it work for me?
