    I'm selling this off, if any of you want to go really fast on an XC course.

    2015 Pivot Les 27.5
    Medium
    XX1 throughout, minus the XO1 grip shift.

    Moots post will be replaced with a Thomson. Saddle will be replaced with the Pivot-branded WTB Volt Team. I was training for some endurance races, so it's probably seen more road miles than trail. Then road season came and has literally sat since April (May and June here were excessively wet, so no miles at all).

    Full build can be seen here:
    http://www.pivotcycles.com/bike/LES-27.5/

    (that's the 2016 build. 2015 has Guide RSC brakes and DT Spline-One XR1501 wheels)

    Nice, looks awesome. Not a big fan of the 27.5 on XC though having ridden a few. Better for All Mtn and Trail bikes IMHO. I'm looking for a 29er XC but it's looking more like I'll end up buying new... Just gotta stop buying truck parts for a while!

    I've had a couple 29ers and always felt like I wanted something more nimble. Decided to give 27.5 a shot, and I dig it. I just no longer have a need. This is what I'm riding on trails now.

    My Giant AnthemX 29er is as nimble as any of my 26ers are. I wanted something that would be more different than the 26ers were as far as rollover & momentum. That's why I skipped 650B/27.5er. Is the pic of your 27.5 or are those 700c wheels on that nice cross bike? I would like to have a cool 700c/disc/dropbar cross setup like that........could be bike #19, that or a fat bike.

    Those are 700c. It's a fun bike. Been my road bike for the past month or so. Picking up new road frame this weekend. This time of year, the cross bike will see more action than the road bike. It's just more enjoyable. Ride to the trail, ride the trail, then ride home. 3-4hrs of relaxation.

    But 700c = 29", how would that be different than riding a 29er mtb on trails? I understand the ride to, on & home from trail versatility angle and like it. That's what I do on the AnthemX 29er too.

    steeper head tube and seat tube angles. and, technically, 700c doesn't equal 29er. outer diameter of the rims is the same, 622. but i've got 33mm tires on my cross bike. an MTB tire is 2x that. I had a custom rigid 29er for a while, and it was fun, but didn't quite have the agility i wanted. that Pivot has the agility, and I love it, but I love my cross bike more.

    he probably has a stand to hold the rear wheel, either wood or pvc most likely. i've seen a few different setups where they have something holding the rear wheel, even with a pickup pad

    edit: something like this probably. this pic is supposed to be from their park

    Fair enough. It looked a little too wobbly and unsecured for my taste!
