Santa Cruz Bronson Carbon C
$3300 CADReluctantly parting with my beloved 27.5 Santa Cruz Bronson.. now curious to see how a 29er rides. I’ve been the sole since buying new in 2015. This bike has been truly awesome! Rides up technical climbs like a goat and is super nimble on cross country and downs swallowing bumps smoothly. I’m not into gaps or drops and such so can’t say how that kind of riding would feel on this bike but I bet it would eat that up too if that’s your thing. It’s a very light bike at around 27lb and has a very nice build, and retailed just under $9000. I have treated this bike like a best friend and can attest it hasn’t been abused at all, ever. I wash it carefully after every ride and kept up maintenance and kept it always looking new besides the odd scuff which are pretty much from transport in my vehicle or on racks. Tried getting some pics of most of the parts. Let me know if there's anything else you want to see. Located in Nelson BC.
Asking $3400 firm. Not desperate at all to sell so not interested in low ball offers please. Prefer a local sale but would ship if necessary.

Real riding on a real everyday riding bike - sweet. Inspiring and a nice break from all the rad massive airs that leave some of us everyday riders awestruck but unable to relate fully. BC is sure beautiful !

Loved that the backflip flop wasn't editted out. That was a damn raw vid - better than all the polished typical stuff.

Answer to Orientdave's 650B Question
Great comments. Sound, practical and based in logical evolution. Further to your points about the last things not yet discovered in biking technology - the chain... I was in my 2nd race ever this year and had to pull out of the race due to a stretched chain that suddenly kept skipping under any pedal force... In that moment I wondered why despite all the wicked advancements in biking in recent years, the chain was still the weak link. Keep us posted on when we should expect the market to give us the "Invinsible chain". Ya.

650B For Giant's 2014 Elite-Level Mountain Bikes
Man all these tire size discussions get everyone super jazzed up. Giant is a HUGE company, everyone must know that ! They have manufactured bikes for many other companies for years before getting into their own cool brand of bike - and they still manufacture some other companies bikes FYI ! And they make wicked bikes and put them out at a price point that always seams reasonable compared to many other boutique bikes out there. But all this negative chatter about tire size... jeeze ya'all who are worked up need to chill out - no-one is making anyone buy a certain kind of bike... you all know what you like so ride it and forget the rest... put your angsty energy into a good ride instead of bantering about how retarded Giant or other companies tire marketing might be. Its basic marketing - a supply and demand game with these big companies and if demand across the whole bike buying market is more cost effective to sell one style bike - of course they will. And now they have some good science to prove their point to whoever cares what they think. But... get over it. If you care that much boycott the company you think is sticking it to you.. Consider staying with the companies that provide what you think makes sense.. buy a handmade bike from a local company - I'm sure most of your local made bike companies will always genuinely care a little more about what 'you' think than the big guys. And stay tuned, once the 27.5 bike is all in the market, they will market the 26.75 and the 28,25 just for kicks. And you will have to buy them all up!! Every last one. Ha. Just sayin.

Nelson BC Has More Trails? The Guide Book
This is inspiring for me. Just about to move away from Vancouver to Nelson. The trails on the Vancouver North Shore and Squamish (just down the road) are obviously well known for their greatness. I get the feeling even more now that Nelson has a heck of a lot to offer ! Looking forward to checking it out sooon ! Thx for this!

Hey, I live in Vancouver and am interested. I"ll pay your ask price if you pay to ship to my door. Otherwise I'll grab one at MEC at full price in the color I actually prefer. No worries if that seems like a hassle.
