quotes I don't agree w/every modern standard, but here's my 2 cents on 12x142 after switching to it on my new frame: 12x142 - 1.) Most good+widely available 135mm rear hub adapt to it(my hope pro2 for example) 2.) Because you're still using your old 135mm hub you don't have to run any different bearings or freehub or w/e 3.) Any frame with a 12x142 rear end comes with an axle, and I'd be willing to bet it's pretty darn reliable(let's be honest they've been making 12mm rear axles/maxles/rws axles for awhile now) 4.)12x142 rear dropouts are keyed for the hub so the wheel w/slide in and bolt up without you having to align the axle and whatnot. I think 15mm front axles are unnecessary when a 20mm will more than do the job. Tapered steerers are noticeably stiffer than straight 1 1/8" steerer and you don't have to buy a dumb 1.5" stem. Straight 1.5" steerers are just dumb from the get go and should have never existed(it will die).

quotes Wouldn't be comparing the SX Trail to this pivot, compare the SX Trail to the Pivot Firebird. This is squarely aimed at the stumpjumper FSR evo. Which has a 12x142 rear-end so dunno what you're on about w/10x135..

quotes It was completely redesigned for '11.. I give it to you it doesn't look it, but w/dialed geometry and a great rear suspension it's hard to beat.

quotes shoot me a PM for how much you would offer me for all you listed, I have a "buyer", but if he backs out

I noticed you're in Bridgewater. I have to be in Lebanon/Flemington from time to time for work. Is there any good riding around your area? Either single track or freeriding. Do you ride in the area in the winter time? Obviously this week has been pretty heavy for you guys in the snow dept.

I'd go for the short. I haven't ridden it that much, check out: http://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=81521&pagenum=23 for my ride impressions so far. Are you going to be doing alot of DH on it? if you are go for the Long, but in general I'd do the Short for your height.
