I like my Tilt, but I'm thinking of getting a Lithium, only there aren't any available except as a complete, and the new color ways are not dropping until Spring.

Send me a PM if you wanna talk

I was wondering how long it would be before you asked. I'm Lithium curious (also the "do we need another bike question" is always fun), but I need to throw a leg over as I'm usually between sizes on bikes. Also, I don't usually ride a 29er, so I want to really ride one and see.

What new colors?

Yeah, I really like the Tilt, but I don't see any reason not to have more travel out back, esp if my 29er is gong to be my big bike.

I suspect the fit is pretty much the same as the Tilt, a tad more standover and a slightly longer rear triangle.

Looking at the stats for the two bikes, running the Lithium with a 151mm short stroke shock and a 160mm fork will steepen the HTA/STA geo from the Tilt I have now; 65 vs 64 deg, which might not be bad.

What new colors?

No idea, just what I was told when I asked about getting a frame. I like the red and black, I'd be down for either color.

Are you still looking for a medium Lithium? Got a lead on a frame for ya.

Might be, wanna pm with deets?

Edit: Changed my mind, a medium is gonna be too small, but thanks for the tip, Nick may have hooked me up with a large frame ….

I suppose it’s a big deal either way, I like the Tilt with a 160mm fork, only time it feels undergunned is off big drops; doesn’t bottom but feels like a shorter travel bike.

I’m curious about the new colors, though I’d take a red frame now, black is okay but it’s been done a lot 😆

Thr white Tilt has grown on me, but it shows dirt like crazy
