Had my medium red v2 spitty for almost 6 years. Still loved it, but it’s always felt a tad on the short side in medium. Got by with 60mm stem and the seat slid back a little, but always felt it slightly hampered the ride.
A few months back, @dh1 offered me his large frame, but a mate was in more need than me, so I sadly let him have it, and regretted it every day.
Cue a mate recently agreeing his large was too big for him, so today we did a frame swap.
Only real change from my build was adding a 1deg angleset, swapping the CCDBA to another freshly serviced CCDBA, and dumping the 150 reverb for a spare 150 Lev. Started with black bars, now swapped to Renthals to match the dropper nicely.
TLDR, one spitty out, one spitty in.
Frame: V2 gen 1 Spitfire, large.
Fork: 160 Pike RCT3, soon to be Lyrik.
Shock: CCDBA.
Headset: Works Components 1deg angleset.
Drivetrain: XT M8000 shifter, derailleur, cranks, 32t ring and chain. XD 10-42 cassette.
Brakes: M8000 with 203/180 icetech rotors.
Rims: 27.5 Flow mk3 with mismatched decals.
Hubs: Hope pro4.
Pedals: DMR vault with angry pins.
Dropper: KS Lev integra 150mm
Bars: 760 Renthal Fatbars.
Stem: Thomson Elite 4x 50mm
Seat: Fizik Gobi.
Grips. Lock-on.
Tyres: Minion DHF 2.5/Agressor 2.4 tubeless.
First ride tonight. All the Spitty goodness but better. Knocked another 2 minutes off my fastest mountain loop, and didn’t push hard by any means.
Hail to the Rotorburn Trance.
