2016 Santa Cruz Bronson C

I've owned this bike for 5 years, and it's taken me on some great adventures and taught me a lot. However, I work in a shop now, and it's been time to take advantage and get on something new, so the Bronson must go up for sale. I'm sad to see it go, but psyched for someone new to have lots more fun on it.

I've built this bike up to suit my needs for everyday trail riding and a bit of racing as well. The parts spec reflects this, and it's ready for any kind of riding you want to do - trail, enduro, dirt jumps, a little bike park would all be appropriate. Almost every part has been upgraded since I bought the bike, and it shreds amazingly well now. There are a few scratches, as is to be expected with a bike this age, but everything is superficial. This frame isn't the newest thing, but I've tried to keep up with the industry where the upgrades have felt helpful, and the parts spec on this bike is really solid. Some highlights of the build:

Rockshox Lyrik RCT3 with the new Debonair sealhead ( this made a big difference in the ride feel) and custom tuned X-Fusion shock. The shock came with the bike, but I honestly think it performs as well as the DVO Topaz I was running for a while. I'm including the DVO for free as well - it just needs some service before it can be used again. I'll also throw in 170mm and 150mm airshafts for the Lyrik so you can change the travel if you're interested.

Handbuilt wheels on Hope Pro4 hubs, which are, in my opinion, some of the best and most reliable hubs. I originally laced the wheels up with Stan's Flow MK3 rims, and the front is going strong, but the rear wheel needed replacement this spring. I laced up a DT Swiss EX511 and planned to do the front as well this fall, but didn't get to it. I'm including the extra EX511 rim so you can do that upgrade when the time is right. Tires are fresh - I'll put a new DHF on and the Aggressor is only a couple months old.

Code RSC brakes (I'll bleed and throw new pads in)

Last but not least! I run the OneUp EDC stem and tool, which means the steerer tube of the Lyrik has not been threaded, but you still get to use the tool. I'm including this in the sale.

Finally, I'll be including a slightly different saddle than what's pictured - same Specialized Phenom saddle, it just has a bit of tearing from tire rub. If you want the special strap pictured (it bolts into the saddle and has space for a tube, CO2, and tire lever, let me know - we can work something out). Also, I've been running a Shimano XT M8000 drivetrain, which is great. I'm on GX Eagle now, and I don't really feel like I gained much. The drivetrain is fairly worn, but it shifts great. It will eventually need replacement, but you won't be there for a while. I'll throw in the spare derailleur I have for the asking price though.

Please feel free to get in touch with any questions! I'm happy to discuss. Totally willing to ship - I'll use Bikeflights - at the buyer's expense. Buyer also pays PayPal fees.
