Maverick ML8

This is a rare gem; a hand-built (in Colorado) Maverick ML8; this particular baby is named Xylo and was built on 4/28/2005. I purchased this from the original owner who also was an engineer for Maverick. 

The highlights:

- 19" (Large) 2006 Maverick ML8 aluminum frame
- Maverick/Fox rear suspension
- Manitou Nixon ETA front fork (120-160mm travel)
- Mavic Crossride / Bontrager Race Lite disc wheels
- Sram X.9 front / rear shifters
- Sram X.O. rear / Shimano front derailleurs
- Bontrager crank
- Avid Juicy 7 hydraulic disc brakes

SOLD.



Niner WFO

This is a 21" (XL) Niner WFO in great shape; the frame has seen the trail quite a few times and has some wear/paint scuffing/scratching on the bottom along with other areas.  But it's structurally sound and rides great.

The highlights:

- 21" (XL) Niner WFO aluminum frameset
- Fox Float X2 Kashima rear shock
- Rock Shox Revelation Solo Air front fork
- DT Swiss TriCon disc wheelset (XD-driver)
- Shimano XT 11-speed rear derailleur
- Shimano XTR 11-speed rear shifter
- Brand-New Shimano Deore hydraulic brakes (installed 6/16/18)
- Sram X.9 integrated 1x crankset
- Sram XX1 11-speed cassette
- Rock Shox Reverb Stealth dropper (2nd Edition -- the GOOD Reverb)
- Pedals included

SOLD.


Orbea Rallon


This is a medium (17.5") 2015 Orbea Rallon X-Team; these bikes are awesome. I've upgraded the front fork from the nice (but very problematic) BOS Deville to a Fox Float 34 Kashima CTD. The Reverb was just bled by an LBS this past week (have receipt if proof needed), the rear brake was also bled. The front brake is brand-new, out-of-the-box. The wheels are brand-new. The rear shock was just installed onto the bike today (Monarch Debonair) in place of the problematic BOS Kirk.  

MSRP on this is $6,200: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/orbea-rallon-x-team-review-2014.html

Bluebook is between $1300 and $2000: https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/SearchListingDetail.aspx?id=3058524&make=1024&model=81526

Considering the upgrades as well as the condition, $1500 is a very fair and aggressive price point. 

The highlights:

- Medium 2015 Orbea Rallon X-Team frameset
- Fox Float 34 Kashima CTD front fork
- Rock Shox Monarch Debonair RCT3 rear shock
- Sun Helix 27.5 wheelset (new)
- Shimano XTR rear / Deore front derailleurs (2x10)
- Shimano XT 2x integrated crankset
- Shimano XTR 10-speed titanium cassette
- Shimano XTR front / rear shifters
- Rock Shox Reverb Stealth 125mm dropper (just serviced 5/29/18)
- Shimano XT rear brake (just serviced 5/29/18)
- Shimano Deore front brake (brand-new, installed 5/29/18)
- Pedals not included

SOLD.


Giant Trance

This is a custom-built 2015 19" (Large) Giant Trance 1 27.5; the rear wheel (Sram Roam 40) is brand-new, installed today. The rear derailleur (Shimano XT Dynasis 11) was installed earlier this Spring. I replaced the fork with an X-Fusion Vengeance and the rear shock with a Fox Float CTD Evolve Kashima. This is built up as a 2x11 (22-speed). Like all modern 2x drivetrains, there's some annoying creaking going on up front; honestly, if it were me, I'd remove the front shifter/derailleur to go 1x, but having the 2x11 certainly doesn't hurt the value.  

The highlights:

- 19" (Large) 2015 Giant Trance 1 aluminum frameset
- Fox Float CTD Kashima Evolve rear shock
- X-Fusion Vengeance front fork
- Mavic Crossmax front wheel
- Sram Roam 40 rear wheel w/ XD-driver (brand-new)
- Shimano XT Dynasis 11 rear derailleur
- Sram X.7 front derailleur
- Shimano XTR 2x integrated crankset
- Shimano XT Dynasis 11 front / rear shifters (2x11)
- Sram 11-speed cassette
- Giant stealth dropper post
- Race Face stem / riser bar
- Pedals not included

SOLD.

Santa Cruz Bronson C

My Baby...

This is a large (19") 2014 Santa Cruz Bronson C carbon 27.5" with DVO Diamond up front and ENVE AM's on Industry 9 hubs. Sram XX1 1x11 drivetrain, XTR brakes, Sram carbon crank, Reverb internal dropper, ENVE bar, Thomson stem, Float CTD in the rear, yada yada yada. 

Bike has various scuffs and scratches, proof that it has been ridden and not just hung on a wall. But no dents or cracks. If you're expecting perfection, this is NOT it -- just a heads up. But for the money, it's hard to beat. 

SOLD.
