Santa Cruz Blur XC Carbon For Sale


I think this is a 2010 frame...it's whatever year the first year for the Blur XC Carbon was, anyway.  So it's VPP2 and size Extra-Large (XL).  Here are the particulars:
  • Santa Cruz XC Carbon XL Frame
  • Fix F-Series RLC 130mm front fork with 15mm thru-axle
  • Chris King headset
  • Fox Float RP23 rear shock
  • Crank Brothers Cobalt Wheelset, 15mm thru-axle front
  • Kenda Small Block 8 2.1 tires, tubeless
  • XTR crankset setup 2x9 with custom bashguard
  • SRAM X7 front derailleur installed, also included is a NEW Shimano XTR front derailleur
  • Avid Elixir CR brakes, 160mm disks on both ends
  • SRAM X0 Grip Shifters
  • Ergon GP-1 Large Grips
  • FSA OS 115 Stem (110mm, I believe)
  • FSA K-Force Handlebar, trimmed to 24.5" wide
  • Brand new Thomson Elite seat post
  • WTB Rocket V titanium rail saddle
  • X0 9 speed rear medium cage derailleur, very light SRAM rear cassette (11-34, I believe)
  • Crank Brothers Eggbeater Pedals
  • one bottle cage
The bike weighs 23.9 pounds as it sits in these pictures.  The X7 front derailleur happened because it was all I could get on short notice when I forgot to order one and had everything else I needed to build it.  I got the XTR thinking I'd upgrade it, but never got around to it.  The X7 works fine, but doesn't look terribly awesome.

Bike rides great.  Has miles on it, so it's got a few small nicks here and there, but nothing significant of any kind.  Wheels are straight, and many of the components have very little use as they were fairly recent upgrades (like the brakes and seat post).

Asking $2,750.  djb@donniebarnes.com if interested.  Located just outside Chapel Hill on the Haw River.
