    Only the best.
    Ive thought about this and have looked, but most bikes in that price range used are either small or large frame. Havent found any mediums yet. Also as youve seen with my truck, i like to mod everything and make it my own. My plan is to get the bike in the color i want and then slowly start changing out all the components to parts i want. I know it will be more expesive but then ill have the frame color i want with the bike set up exactly how i want it. I feel like the pitch is a good solid frame set and i do really dig that color lol.

    yeah 27.5 vs 29 is a massive debate, with honestly no resolution on either end on any subject whatsoever lol. it's amazing to read/watch it all and realize "well that amounted to nothing" hahaha. it's even a topic I won't debate! can you believe that? lol. I love my 29er though.

    what do you mean get your ass stuck on the tire?

    Looked at that, sweet looking bike. Bit mechanical disk brakes :(. Basicly the same options as the pitch but the pitch has hydro brakes and is $80 cheaper. Meaning i can possibly get a decent pedal set and a cheap dropper post

    haha if you hit your ass I would be super impressed. I'm not a mountain walrus because I'm small...

    I've never once hit my ass on my tire. I've also not once seen that as a discussion point between the sizes lol

    Bmx only went to 24 then (cruiser) this was on my trek mtb. I raced 20" BMX, and sometimes raced MTB as a training thing for BMX. But i was used to being able to lean back on the 20" so i tried on the 26". Bad news bears :rofl:

    I can throw my 26” bike around really easily with the seat all the way dropped. Don’t know how much harder it would be on a 29”

    They say its a bit more cumbersum, but the good part about the 29er is it rolls over stuff alot easier than small tires. But is slower on the inclines
