back when I still had my pitch it was 9 speed. if you get a shimano freehub body you can 9/10/11. If you can go to 11....the do slx with a sunrace 11-46 cassette by far the cheapest way to get big range. Or the new Microshirt
I've been contemplating selling my 09 Pitch for a year or two now. How's the market been? Not much is stock, wheels/rear shock/crank and XT derailleur.
I would guess it will be hard to sell since it's 26in and 11years old.
#26aintdead! The 09 pitch was years ahead of its time in many aspects, and with lots of upgrades, I would give it a go. You couldn’t get too much out of it, but I’m sure it would be perfect for someone. If you were closer to me, I might even be interested in it!
Its a pretty well set up bike. Lots of fun but would like to try a Jeffsy 29 or something.
1,000us? I would say 1,200 is on the high end for a 26er bike, with a slightly outdated frame, and 800 might be a bit low for the upgrades, and the fact that there is still some demand for a bike like that.
