Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 HPC SLX 750 2023 - Electric Mountain Bike
NOW £3,599.00
RRP £5,299.00 | SAVE 32%
Purchased on the cycle to work scheme for a grand - couldn't spend a penny more!
I would have liked to put around another grand to get a 6" freeride for around £2,000, but this was not possible. Also, I had to buy a complete bike, so a frame (with components purchased separately) was out of the question.
I had previously read an MBR review of the Pitch Pro (10 out of 10) that stated the frame was only scratching the surface of what was possible in terms of ride, and suggested it was being held back by the components. So I decided to check out the Pitch Comp, safe in the knowledge that I could upgrade the components around a pretty decent frame.
The Fox forks and rear shock were the first items obtained after the bike - probably the most important upgrades - bought to give the plushest ride possible.

it has to be a 10 because there is no 11.
I like what you've done here and im slowly doing a similar thing with my pitch pro, the blue is a much better colour than the brown.

looks awesome with the white upgrades. Fox forks are plush as, it's a good frame. did you not like the Pitch Pro one then?

Awesome bike mate with some pimp upgrades but now think it needs an adjustable seatpost buddy, like a ks cobra, crankbrothers joplin or specialized command post
