Today we are looking at a pure thouroughbred of a mountain bike, the PIVOT SWITCHBLADE. While out in Phoenix I stopped by the Pivot show room, located just a few blocks from some of the best mountain bike trails in the country. I was helped by Eric, who sized ad tuned the bike perfectly to my needs, amazing customer service and a killer bike.

Here is a quick look at this amazing machine. Be sure to check back regularly for more episodes.
