Decision made!!

I've got Specialized Pitch Comp demo bike for the weekend. However the decision is already made. I've had a blast around Whites Level this morning and this bike is brilliant. I may need to get a stiffer spring in the Pike forks, but this bike feels otherwise spot-on. It climbs really well, I didn't feel hugely disadvantaged in comparison to my hard tail. Downhill she flies and is so much fun. It's confident in the jumps and can cope easily in rough rocky sections.

The only things I would whinge about are the Spesh Eskars which I'm convinced are death traps!! I can change those. The cable routing under the bottom bracket is pretty poor, but I can live with that. The Comp's Hayes Stroker brakes are a bit fierce, but the Pro (which is the one I'm after) has Avid Juicy's.

I'm off to Brechfa tomorrow for some more testing! But I think the decision is already there!!
