I ride 4-5 times per week with decent but not particularly challenging single track out my door in Fish Creek Park in Calgary. Most of the "real" riding I do is in Fernie, BC with a couple of rides per week in K-Country. Don't live for the climbs but do take pride in the accomplishment and challenge but always do enjoy the downs. I'm a solid Intermediate and well balanced rider with no particular strengths but can do it all and hang with most riders my age and many younger.

Fezzari Launches Timp Peak Long Travel eMTB
@Will-narayan: I own a Kings Peak and agree whole heartedly....BTW, my Fezzari experience has been excellent and I recommend them all the time. This is a well designed, feature rich and value conscious option. Not going to debate the Shimano vs other eMotors, I think they're fine and it could just be Shimano haters, I do own an eBike with a Bosch motor and really like it with good range but would have been just as happy with Shimano I'm sure, for the package/price this bike is a very good option.

Eurobike 2022: A Closer Look at New Products from European Manufacturers
@rrolly: I've been on a SQLabs 611 for five years now and will never try anything else...it still looks like new and wears better than any other saddle I've used over the years. I used to ride WTB as well but can honestly say I have never been tender even early in the season using the 611, I highly recommend.

Pivot Mach 6 Full Custom Build in 2017

$3850 CAD
The frame was purchased new in 2017 and was a custom build using 2017 components, it has the factory linkage upgrade which makes it the same as a 2016-2018 frame with everything you could ask for in a true Super Bike with $1000's in upgrades. The bike is in excellent condition and has just had its annual full rebuild, key components are; Suspension - Fox Factory 36 fork with full Vorsprung Competition valving and tuning which includes a Luftkappe and Fractive Tune upgrade - Shock is a Custom Built Vorsprung Shock based upon Rock Shox body with Tractive valve tuning (I'll include the original Fox shock which needs a rebuild) Drive Train and Brakes - Full 11 speed XT drivetrain with XTR Shifter - 11-50 tooth Cogset NEW as part of annual rebuild (basically the same gear spread as 12 speed) - NEW Chain - 4 piston with 203mm Rotor on front and 2 piston with 180mm Rotor on back Wheels and Tires - Easton Heist 30 Wheelset - NEW Minnion DHR II, 2.4WT, 3C, Maxx Terra, EXO, TR tire as part of rebuild - NEW Maxxis Minnion DHF, 2.5WT, 3C, Maxx Grip, EXO, TR tire as part of rebuild Cockpit and Controls - Chromag BZR 800mm x 35mm Carbon Bar - Chromag 35mm Stem - NEW grips - KS Lev Integra Dropper post - NEW Fizik saddle - NEW cables throughout In addition to listing above there are many other top grade parts and upgrades made to this bike. It is a beautiful bike with all the right "stuff" and other than a few very minor scuffs it is like new and could not be replaced at twice the price. I am open to reasonable offers.
