[QUOTE="WutApex, post: 16594111, member: 14853"] Actually funny you mention the Pivot...I literally just got home from test riding a 429. Although it was a glorified parking lot ride (dropping off stairs, quick sprints around the local neighborhood, etc.), I came away very impressed with the DW-link! It's an XO build with the Fox 34 bumped up to 140mm, but interestingly, it had Shimano SLX brakes so I thought it weird to mix with SRAM components ([i]I'll need to call him back to get a full spec list because other than the Truvativ Descendant cranks, I don't recall hubs, etc.[/i]) It is a 2020 so it won't be the update geo that's coming out for '21 but nevertheless it felt like an excellent ride. Without spending an arm or a leg, I'm not sure I can get the weight down too much - he put it on the scales with pedals and it was almost 31lbs which I think is quite heavy, yet it certainly didn't feel like it rode that heavy at all, even up the short paved hill I took it up. It was a short-term demo bike but no noticeable scratches or wear - looks like a new bike...I'm not sure $47xx. is a good price though...thoughts? [/QUOTE]
