picked up my new 2008 demo 7 today and took it for a small ride and the first impression was great.
It soaks up everything but doesnt bob at all when pedaling
spec list (down) thanks lokieoc
will be getting wider bars, xt cranks, new seat and seatpost soon

thought i'd chuck my 2008 pitch pro on here aswell.
great bike i use it for a bit of dh, xc and its a 4X ripper
(doesn't handle road gaps to well though, broke both my arms finding out)
Pitch has some upgrades witch include
- xt crankset
- e-thirteen light guide

Nice mate. I've got the same rig.

Be careful with the wheels though as the E540s are super soft. Keep your tires above 25psi at all times and run them around 30 on rockier tracks.
My wheels are custard!

Yeah Riley demo looks sick!

Are you able to ride it properly yet or are your wrists still healing?

Nice Demo, also loving that Pitch really looks like it would ride well. Mad set up for light Dh work and single track riding
Wish the Demos didnt have the overkill 1.5 headtube:mad:

Like your Pitch man.
I too have just built up a Pitch and have a LG1 on it.
Just wondering how you were able to fit the taco on cause there is no room what soever to get the top bolt through?
