Pivot Switchblade
$5500 USDSize Small Pivot Switchblade pro XT/XTR build
ordered fall 2021 and received February 2022.
This was my wife's bike and was ridden from may-september this year. She ended up demoing a Shadowcat and loved that model more.
The frame and fork were ride-wrapped from the beginning. one small nick in the wrap on the driveside seat tube, the wrap took it and no damage to the paint.
this build retails for 7699, we are asking 5500.
Located in southeast Michigan, we can arrange a local meet up (or within a decent range) or
Buyer pays for shipping if needed, I will have the bike boxed at a local shop and shipped via bikeflights.
PayPal goods and services or Cash only. for PayPal split the goods and services fee.
this bike is stock and in excellent condition.

RockShox Announces New $549 Domain Fork
@tkrug: I think everyone is missing the obvious upgrade path. Wait for Avvy to create a damper for the new Domain and blam done. would likey be in the same cost neighborhood of the charger upgrade from the sounds of it.
I was close to doing the Yari/avvy damper for a bike build that totally evaporated. the only thing you loose out on is weight of the chassis over the top end fork, and have a damn good damper, plug in any air spring upgrades and swanky fork for less money.

Video: How a $12 Million NZD, 40 Mile MTB Trail Came to Life
they are used to hiking/camping gear already.
our hiking shoes were checked each time. they thanked us for having clean shoes, I have always gave them a scrub before heading there to make our life as easy as possible getting through the biosecurity.
They checked our tent, one jsut a look at the desk, the other time they took it in back and unrolled it to give it a good look.
if they don't like how clean they are they will get fumigated/taken care of.
I would expect the same for bikes if you wanted the expense of traveling with them there.
We rented, but also had a small car so if we had brought bikes we would have needed something a bit larger too.
Yes things can still slip through, but they are pretty on top of it from what I have seen.

Solving the Dropper Post Dilemma
just installed my E13 dropper last night. It even came with sets of keys to replace when/if needed.
So looking forward to being able to service it myself over sending it in.
so far on my short test ride I like the feel and the remote. I am coming off a command post so I get along fine with the set drop positions.

Solving the Dropper Post Dilemma
funny story, i was riding shuttles with a guy that was telling me about the shop he goes to getting their first command post, they pumped it up to 30 psi and were having great fun having their friends try it out and smacking themselves in the nuts.

Guerrilla Gravity Debuts "Smash" 29er
@vikb: my megatrail is my full time go anywhere do anything bike. 0 regrets, 0 bike lust. Could I probably be a shade faster on mild xc trails on some other bike? Likely yes, but don't care one bit.

Guerrilla Gravity Debuts "Smash" 29er
@powderturns: my experience is different, shops I have taken my megatrail into have the owner and mechs oogling it, then asking questions about how I like it. Granted it has not been in many shops, but I had one owner ask what kind of bike I ride, then ask if I had it with me. We then proceeded out to my car.
I am sure I could find some grumpy shops out there, but not my experience so far.

MRP Ribbon Fork Now Available
Loved my Loop (so much better than the Fox F29 it replaced) which has moved over to my adventure bike, loving my Stage currently on my GG Megatrail. Looks like improvements and added tricks would make this a next great fork. Maybe I will have to find a reason to swap the Stage in on one of my wife's bikes so I can justify a ribbon. Pretty sure I can get new end caps for my i9 hubs to make the boost spacing work for my existing hubs.
Waiting for ride reviews to come in to make any decisions.
