Bit of bike swapping going on in the scrubby household... More AM leaning towards FR than the other way around, but there you go.
150mm rear/160mm front. A bit lower and longer than my old ride, with an inch less travel but roughly the same angles. Still some nice sub-17" stays that make me happy. I'm no big hucker, just like slack bikes - nice that it's getting easier to get slack bikes without having to resort to pure DH and FR bikes. Tight and twisty, rooty and rocky, steep up and down east coast woods play bike. Only a few rides on it so far, but me likey. A lot.
08 Pitch Comp frame with stock direct mount front mech is all that I kept off the stock build. Swapped on all my parts from my prior frame, and am selling all the new/old stuff to help finance it all. Totem Solo Air (in 2Step chassis) lowered to 160mm. Brought the BB height up to 14" even, slackened the bike to ~ 66.5 degrees at the head angle. Wheelbase right at 46" long. Me likey. Fox RP23 shock swapped on the frame - the stock X-fusion is a parts bin spare in case the Fox craps out on me.

I think it's somewhere in the 30-32# range, but haven't had it near a decent scale to get a good weight. Total cost after getting a sweet deal on the Totem and RP23 used,$450us off MSRP on the Pitch Comp complete, selling a bunch of my old crap and the crap off the Pitch is not much.
