Local LBS starting carrying Pivot bikes. Thinking hard 'bout a Mach 5 frame for a winter project to replace my beloved Stumpy. Anyone got any seat time on one?

Haven't been around much lately mostly been lurking over in the TdF threads, I got a new road bike to replace the to small Bianchi. 86 Cannondale with beat ass blue pain that I think I am just going to leave as is. I need to install my headset and run cables and it will be rideable. After that I need to find some tubulars that are more that 18c wide and don't cost 75 a pop and glue them up.
That said
T minus 5 days until I head to Breckenridge. It will be my friend's first time mountain in the actual mountains. Should be a good time.

Thank you b2b.
I forgot to mention it, but 2 weeks ago I wen OTB on to some concrete slabs used to make up a creek crossing and scraped and possibly split my chin pretty good. I say possibly because I had a pretty good beard going at the time. Fast forward to 3 days ago and I could feel the scab/dead skin combo ready to come off. Along with it came a nice big chuck of my beard and I had a nice bald spot on the left of my chin. So I shaved. Does anybody know how long it might take to get that spot to grow back. I have a pretty good bit of stubble back but it still doesn't look right.

Just spent a week near Pisgah. Without a bike. Story of my life. But on the bright side, I'll be spending two weeks in Colorado with a bike. Specifically, I'm going to be in the San Jwans (3 hours north west or so of Durango) any recomondations? I'm going to be in Durango on friday (in 6 days).

It was at a youth Presbyterian jebuz camp called Montreat near some place called (I think) Black Rock (I wanna say it was around 45 minutes to near edge of Pisgah), and I did see a few true mountain bikers on the campus of the camp (I'd assume there were some trails near by because they were all clearly riding back to their cars after a ride rather then just riding around). I think next year I'll try to talk some people into going a week or so early for riding.
Leaving at 5 tomorrow for two or so weeks in CO. Sounds like we're renting one of the new 4 door jeeps which should have room for a bike, so. . . Shuttled 4X4 road DHing is in my future
