thinking about getting a new bike. I figured since I just got my new hip, why not a new ride. so my current ride is a Diamondback Sortie 3. like it ok but want something new, it's a 2010. always wanted a Pivot Mach 4 and I found a complete bike that's a NOS from 2012. Fox fork, shocks, sram drivetrain, dt swiss wheelset. the other I was considering I just found at a lbs is a 2013 Ibis Mojo SL with slx parts, X fusion fork and shock. Both are priced the same, both new and are 26 in wheels. the Pivot is alu, Ibis is carbon frame. don't know anything about X fusion so anyone with working knowledge please chime in. both have DW Link so I'm fine with that as that's what I want. only going to be doing XC with these too so I'm not too concerned that the Pivot is 4in and the Ibis is 5in of travel. so lets hear your thoughts on these 2 beauties, may hear something I haven't thought of yet
