My switch has a heavy build and comes in just a hair over 39 pounds.

And Raven, I would recommend some DMR V-12 pedals, they're crazy nice. Can't help you about rims...but you could always just spray paint some. If you do a really good job cleaning them and take your time painting they'll turn out really nice.

Thanks for the advice on those pedals. I had a couple of things come up financially anyways so these little treats will have to be put on hold for now.

On a side note after doing some research I think I have changed my mind on forks though and will most likely be pursuing Fox rather than Marzocchi.

Have a good one

Cheers

i mean the pivot points are the same. but with better components
actually no, rocky has the extra pivot on top the of rear axle, where as the Horst link that norco and big hits use the pivot is actually on the chainstay before the rear axle.
+1
The switch does not have a VPS suspension.
