2012 GT Sanction 2.0 Upgraded *price drop

*new dropper post!

For big dudes who love to shred, this bike is guaranteed to put a smile on your face as you rip through any trail you point it down. This bike is burly without being overly heavy and can handle climbs pretty well. GT's patented I-drive design is intended to separate the suspension from the drivetrain which means suspension bob is literally eliminated. This bike pedals similar to a hard-tail because of this drivetrain design. Where this bike really shines is on descents. I've ridden this bike two times in the park and its handled everything very well. The frame size is an XL, I'm 6'3 and I feel like the bike fits perfect. Should fit any rider 6'0-6'4. I'm selling because I'm wanting to start a 27.5 bike build project and need the cash but I'm in no hurry to sell. Would really prefer a local sale and I'm willing to meet halfway depending on the distance. If not, the buyer is responsible for shipping costs. The bike has normal cosmetic scratches on the frame but not dents. All the components are in perfect working order. Retail price was $3,500 and I think $1600 is a fair price for the bike because it has significant upgrades. I'm also interested in trading for a 27.5 long travel AM bike or a DH bike size XL.
