Big Jim has been riding bikes from here since 1994, that one was a copper coloured Kona Cinder Cone, full rigid (as they were), roadish gears and marginal brakes ( as was normal back then). He progressed into Titanium hardtails and gravel bikes from Kona, dual suspension, then carbon dual suspension, then finally to e assist mtb. And today he has progressed to a new Pivot Shuttle SLAM Pro XO e assist mtb! One of the lighter e bikes available it feels more like a normal bike on the trail, except on the climbs! Between the spectacular suspension linkage system and handling that put Pivot at the head of the line for us, the Fox Factory suspension and SRAM TType XO drivetrain and carbon everywhere this bike is hard to beat! Three decades of bikes Jim, there’s been a lot of changes! Thanks Jim and have fun!
