For Sale: Santa Cruz BLur LT
Sadly : ( it has come time two move on and sell my very much beloved bike. Reason? To make room for a new one : )
A true all rounder. Climbs and races like a XC and throws itself at any gravity challenge like an all mountain bike. Very fast, tight and responsive bike. A classic and one of Santa Cruz' most popular bikes.
Reasonable offers all considered.

New bike time
Because it's a little more than a sport, a little less than a religion ad one hell of a way of life
Because life's to short to be bored
Because Andrew Penny urged everyone to get out and become part of the glorious past of somebody elses future
Because i hang out in the places other people would rather be, if only they knew of them
First bike build
Well this was my first complete bike build. I was looking for something to replace the VP Free as I didn't find myself riding DH anymore. I wanted something that could handle going downhill reasonably well but also pedal uphill. The Nomad seemed to fit the bill.
Putting it all together was a lot of fun. It wasn't all that hard as I've tinkered and replaced parts on my other bikes before. I just did it slowly over two nights.
On bathroom scales it came in at around 13.4kg which I was surprised at. I thought it would be more. I'll need to get a proper weigh in someday soon
