New bike day!

So this is my first real bike, the 2018 Specialized Pitch Sport 650B. I've been riding the hell out of a Walmart bike for almost a year now.

I've been looking at buying the 2017 base model since early this year and I was this close to pulling the trigger on the 2017 when my bike shop called me and said they had just gotten access to the 2018 model. I was not expecting this much of a difference!

The new frame design is quite a bit different than the past Pitch models, and having test ridden one I can say that I like the slightly more slack geometry a lot better. It climbs just as well also. Plus it has internal cable routing!!!

So far my impressions are that it's simply amazing. Stout cockpit, Suntour XCT, internal cables, brand new Ground Control Sport... and 2.3" size!

Ask me anything! Peace dudes
