This is a solid, stupid-lightweight 2014 carbon Lapierre Zesty AM 927 that's been custom-built from the ground up. This has a BRAND-NEW, NEVER-USED Sram Eagle XX1 DUB carbon crankset (these things are $600). So that right there boosts the value. From there, it has a Pike 160 RCT3 Dual-Position, a Monarch RCT3 Debonair, Sram Guide RSC brakes, Shimano XTR carbon wheels, an XO1 1x11 drivetrain, and the list goes on. The frame is pretty much mint; the parts have varying degrees of wear and tear. The only caveat is that the Reverb needs a rebuild -- it DOES NOT CURRENTLY FUNCTION.

Cannondale Scalpel Team
This is my trusty customized Scalpel that I hand-pieced together with the finest unique 26" stuff that, well, is hard to find. That fork up front, for example: a Maverick SC32. Not exactly your standard Fox Float. Then there's the wheels; prototype Reynolds carbons. I purchased the wheels and fork from the engineer who designed the Reynolds in Utah (used to live there) -- he also designed Maverick frames in Colorado, hence the combo.
Yes, this has 26" wheels. But the quality of the build is above and beyond a lot of the modern stuff that you take for granted these days. The value of this bike is all about the add-ons; Bike Bluebook won't do this justice.
The highlights:
- 18" (Medium) Cannondale Scalpel aluminum frame
- Fox Float RLC rear shock
- Maverick SC32 front fork
- Reynolds Carbon 26" wheels
- Shimano XTR front / rear derailleurs
- Shimano XTR titanium cassette
- Shimano XT rear / Sram XO front shifters (2x9)
- Race Face Six C carbon 2x crankset
- Shimano XTR hydraulic disc brakes
- Thomson dropper post
- Hope stem
- ENVE carbon riserbar
- New DH flats included
- Fox Float RLC rear shock
- Maverick SC32 front fork
- Reynolds Carbon 26" wheels
- Shimano XTR front / rear derailleurs
