2016 Specialized Crave SL 29. Fully rigid single speed baby! Size XXL, but it runs pretty small and fits like an XL (I'm 6'6 and if they made a larger size I would have purchased it).

$800 OBO

All tech specs of the bike here: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/crave-sl-29/106470

Condition is excellent, only some superficial scratches to the paint. Brakes are freshly bled, and whole bike is tuned.

Bike comes stock, with the following upgrades:
- Shimano XT SPD pedals
- ESI Extra Chunky Silicone Grips
- Pink flush headset cap (increases sex appeal)
- Tubeless Tire Setup w/ Stans sealant installed


This bike made my world go round for the brief time I was able to ride it. I've always been more of an trail/enduro/DH rider, but I bought this bike to sharpen up my "real" riding skills (i.e. the skills that 6" of suspension travel causes you to forget). It is absolutely my favorite bike to ride. It is incredibly light and playful, and very responsive to pedal input. I crushed a few XC races on it, and it beat out plenty of people on hardtails even in SS configuration.

If you are an experienced mountain biker and looking for a bike to make you better, this is your tool.

If you are a novice, but tall and looking for a good bike to start, this might be the bike for you. Right now it has a carbon fork, but it is easily converted to a standard hardtail if you put a fork on it. Also supposedly is convertible to have gears, I just deliberately purchased the SS configuration because I wanted to get better at biking :-)

Also could be a flashy campus/city bike that occasionally hits the dirt!

I'd like to keep the saddle, as it fits my bum well and we all have different rear-ends anyway right? If this is a deal breaker we can negotiate. Also, I ask that you pay for shipping please.
