I think the geometry is going to put me in a really well-balanced position for steep climbing, aggressive descending and all around good pedaling form..

Main components to use for the build:
my Crossmaxes,
Fox 130 until I get a Pike 95-140 thru axle,
Easton mid rise bar
SRAM X9 triggers and rear der.


Umm, I have a little debt to pay off now....but am looking forward to shake down ride!

That thing should be a blast. Post some pics when you get it completed. I've had good luck with my Pike so far.

that knock comes and goes. its really annoying. sent the fork back also, sounds like bad bushings and a blown rebound cartridge.

Pike Race

I have a black 2005 Pike Race (coil) that I need to unload. It's used, so has some small scratches, nothing major, and I am not a hucker/jumper. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Congratulations! Truly one of the best out there, hope to catch up with you and see the finished product..

I would have gone with a Turner if my wife would have allowed the outlay, but the deal on the Switchblade is what put me over...

Thanks Chris.
did you contact Titus yet to get the linkage corrected on your SB?

Yeah, but I'm gonna wait on it until early Spring. Have employee bonuses to pay, Christmas at home, travel over Christmas, Jimminy Christmas, it can be an expensive time of the year...

But I need a different rocker arm, so that it will accept any standard 7.5" 2" stroke air shock. Also want a new crank set, rear derr, shifters, just too much good stuff out there. Can probably get it straightened out for around $400. The guy who flipped the rocker and put the coil-over Romic on it had the right idea, as that's a sweet shock. It just funkified the geometry a little much...
