$4250 USDFEATURES
Monocoque carbon fiber frame with internal cable routing saves weight while maintaining strength and outstanding, low slung geometry
Industry leading Fox 36 (160mm) and Fox Float X2 (150mm) suspension provides an unparalleled ride quality
12 speed XO Eagle provides an ultra-wide range of gears
DT Swiss wheelset is light, stiff, and fast rolling, with awesome engagement and smooth, sealed bearings
Asymmetrical Frame offers increased stiffness and easy access to rear shock adjustments
Fast rolling, terrain eating 29” wheels provide unparalleled confidence
Fox air shock accepts volume reducers (sold separately) to increase progressiveness of rear suspension
Size is a large. It was purchased last December (yes, it's a 2019 model, not a 2018). Stock colors. I have the stock saddle and grips (matching colors) for it as well. I put my own saddle and grips on after about 10 rides so they are virtually unused.
Bike is ride ready and in great shape. Ridden lightly and never took a spill in the almost year I've owned it.
I would prefer to sell locally but would consider shipping it.

Oct 5, 2018Specialized Stumpjumper FSR 29 Carbon Expert EVO
$2275 USDUp for sale is my beloved 2014 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR EVO 29 Carbon Expert - MEDIUM SIZE. It has 2015 Carbon Roval Fatty Wheels, with Wider Renthal Carbon Handlebars, ODI lock-on grips.
The MEDIUM SIZE is best suited for those from 5'6 to 5'10 as per the model years sizing chart from Specialized.
Chain has been replaced, I also have and will include a replacement chain for FREE
NEW Cable Housing
Recently replaced Bottom Bracket has been replaced from wear
Cassette was replaced from warranty after the first 8 months of use
Fork has just been overhauled and the front cartridge replaced, all seals replaced, new fluid, etc.
NEW Pads front and rear have just been replaced
Schawlbe Hans Dampf in the rear, Shcwalbe Magic Mary on the front.
In 2015, the model year after this bike, as you can see above I purchased the S-Works Carbon Roval "Fatty" wheels and upgraded from the stock aluminum roval traverse wheels. These wheels are amazing. Fast, light and stay true no matter the abuse. $1500 for just the wheelset alone is what I paid!!!
I upgraded the handlebars to wider Renthal Carbon bars and ODI lock-on grips for a more aggressive feel.
This bike is literally ride ready, nothing needs to be done as I have done this for you. It has cosmetic wear and tear as any MTB a few years old would, but in this case, mechanically everything has been meticulously maintained, replaced, etc. This is a high-end trail bike in great mechanical shape.

Pinkbike Poll: Mountain Biking - What Should it Cost?
Dirt bikes, which are not massed produced like cars, are more similar to MTBs but still cost LESS!? That's a little ridiculous and shows the greed that has taken over the industry.

Feb 9, 2014GT Series 1 Road Bike
$700 USDUp for sale here, is my 2011 GT Series 1 Road Bike. This bike has a ton of great components and it's hardly seen ANY action at all. I am a mountain biker at heart, I bought this roadie thinking it would be fun to get into it and well, I just never really had the motivation to choose the road bike over the mountain bike when I live next to such great trails.
2011 Medium Sized GT Series 1 Road Bike Frame (I am 5'10 and it's been fitted to my size)
Aluminum Frame with Carbon Fork and Rear Triangle
Ritchie Stem
Ritchie Carbon Seat Post
Mavic Aluminum Wheels
Sram RIVAL drivetrain w/ double tap shifters
Tektro Mechanical Rim brakes
Crank Brothers Egg Beater pedals (I'm a mountain biker, heh)
Let me know if you have any other questions or would like to do a skype session with the bike. It's a great bike and has seen maybe 200 miles total. Ride ready. The tires might be a good upgrade, but I've added an anti-flat strip and they have been great with not a single flat since.

Feb 9, 20142011/ Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon (custom build)
$3750 USDUp for sale is my amazing and beloved Nomad. This nomad is completely custom, so the price reflects that. It has been well maintained and taken care of. I'll get into more of the history and condition of the bike after I go through the parts. Here are the parts in itemized form:
2011 Nomad Carbon Frame LARGE
2011 Fox Float 36mm kashima coating (just had the fork serviced on Feb 3rd, 2014 and have been on ONE ride since)
2012 DHX-RC4 WITH Titanium Coil and PUSH LINK! **
2012 Easton Haven Magnesium Wheels & Hubs (TUBELESS)
2011 Easton Havoc Carbon Fiber Handlebars
2012 Thompson Elite Stem
2012 SRAM x9 rear derailleur (1x9 setup!)
2011 Shimano XT Cranks
2011 Elixir CR Brakes WITH Hope floating rotors
2011 Crank Brothers Joplin 4 adjustable seatpost WITH remote
2011 Chris King Angleset (currently set to "steeper") **
2012 WTB Pure V saddle
2011 ODI lock-on grips
2014 BRAND NEW CHAIN
2014 BRAND NEW CASSETTE
Tires:
Rear: 2013 Continental Trail King 2.35
Front: 2013 Hans Dampf 2.35
Weight:
28.8 lbs
So I've built this bike up part by part to have exactly what I wanted on the bike. If I were to do it now, I'd definitely go for a SRAM X01 or XX1 drivetrain because after trying out the 1x9 setup, I really fell in love with the feel, the quieter chain (no chain slap whatsoever and you will NEVER lose your chain when descending or even on a rock garden), decreased weight, and really something I don't see people talk about too often is that it frees up your left hand to be able to focus on and adjust your seat when needed rather than having to constantly feather between your gears. The weakest link on the entire bike would probably have to be one of the least important: The cranks are Shimano XT which don't necessarily go with the the rear derailleur but they work great, are strong and light and for all intents and purposes this is merely a cosmetic gripe. The frame has normal wear and tear, most of which isn't from falling but from my darn CLEATS while pedaling. And for whatever reason, only really on the back left side, not the ride side, I think I pedal with my foot slightly out of alignment on that side as it suffered from a severe ankle sprain a few years back, pics are shown.
** The Rear Linkage: This is NOT the standard rear shock and linkage that normally comes with the Nomad. This is a very awesome setup that is WAY more plush, smooth and ready for an even more aggressive riding style. Granted, I would have been fine with the normal air shock as I don't do that much crazy stuff, but I certainly enjoyed the comfort and the stability it offers when descending. The push link allows for the full stroke of the RC4, the titanium coil helps to offset the weight so it's not too rear heavy, and all around this is just a rare and win setup.
Details:
This is a PUSH link from PUSH industries.
Titanium Coil ($200 alone!)
Fox DHX-RC4 Shock
** Angleset: So I have the angleset from Chris King on this bike. It's an option where you can have the fork slightly slacker for more downhill oriented riders, or steeper for better handling. This is also something that professional riders put on their bike to adjust a bike to their size more finely. I have the angleset on "steeper" as I am an inbetweener (5'10 180lbs) and my size is basically a medium OR large. In the end and even one of the reasons I am selling the bike, is that I really would prefer a medium. I think it's better for my size, my short arms and long legs and I just prefer the snappy feel of a bike that is slightly smaller on me rather than slightly larger. That being said, the angleset did a kickass job at making the bike feel CLOSER to what I wanted. There are even other cups you can fit with the angleset to make the amount of steepness or slackness less defined. All in all it's a lot of fun to play around with and make the bike exactly what you want it.
SHIPPING: I will ship (buyer pays for shipping, roughly $200 but probably slightly less) in the United States only. We will go through PayPal to make sure we are safe. You must have a verified PayPal account and I'll need to verify it and/or take a look at your eBay history. The more information you can give me to help feel safe, the better, as I am sketch about this sort of transaction and would PREFER LOCAL PICKUP!!!!!
