Santa Cruz Blur LT

This is our family neighborhood cruiser; no longer need it as my wife prefers her road bike and I have too many bikes as it is.

This is a medium (17") 2009 Santa Cruz Blur LT.  The price is so incredibly cheap in comparison to all the other Blur's for one reason: the bottom headtube is ovalized.  I've countered this fact by installing a deeper rear headset cup as well as the dual-crown Bomber up front.  This has remedied the issue, but the fact remains - it's ovalized.  You can't expect to put a single-crown fork on this bike and have it be too rigid for long.

So, the highlights:

- 17" (Medium) 2009 Santa Cruz Blur LT aluminum frameset
- Fox RP23 w/ BoostValve rear shock
- Marzocchi Bomber Mr. T front fork - Classic
- Easton Havoc disc wheelset
- Sram X.O. w/ clutch rear derailleur
- Shimano XT front derailleur
- Sram X.9 grip-shifters
- Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes (brand-new)
- Shimano LX integrated crankset
- Giant seatpost (brand-new) - not the Thomson Masterpiece pictured
- Crank Brothers Candy pedals

SOLD.
