So I bought this a few months back for a bit over $3k. It had SRAM and RockShox which is all gone now. I'm a Shimano/Fox guy. I just finished the build today which is perfect timing for a test at GV over the weekend. I like Pivots a lot and apart from my Evil they are my favourite bikes. In my opinion they look the goods and the DW link is a pretty damn good pedalling platform. I've decided I want to do some DH racing and figured I should buy the right tool for the job. It's a 2016 Model I believe which means nothing as Pivot have only changed the colours of the bike over the last 3 years. Hope you like it.

These have long been one of my favourite dh frames. Having ridden the dw link a bit over the years I love the way it handles chunky crap on the trail. I've never have a lash on the big travel version but expect it will plough through rocks and roots like a boss.

Your build looks mint too, especially the already noted colour scheme. Orange is the new black!

When will we have some action shots?

Thanks for the kind words gang. I love building bikes and making them a bit different. I rode it at GV on the weekend and had a blast.
