2014 V1 Santa Cruz Bronson (lots of upgrades)

*** last chance - make me an offer this week before I leave town for 3 months! ***

Carbon Bronson with lots of new bits, including a 12 speed drivechain, a 180mm dropper and a Lyrik on the front. I'm not 100% set on selling this, but make me an offer! I'm headed down to Antarctica for the winter, and figure it might be time to let someone else get some use out of it instead of leaving it in storage.

Frame: 2014 Santa Cruz Bronson, Carbon, Size L (fits slightly small for a large, fits me well at 5'9")
Shock: Cane Creek DB Inline
Fork: 2018 150mm Rockshox Lyrik, non-boost axle (swap out the air spring to bump to 160mm, a setup I've enjoyed in the past)
Drivechain: SRAM GX EAGLE 1x12
Cranks: Carbon SRAM XO1
Chainring: Wolf Tooth 32 tooth (oval, steel)
Brakes: Shimano XT, 203mm rotor front, 180mm rotor back
Bars: Chromag Fubars
Saddle: Chromag
Dropper post: Oneup V2 180mm dropper post
Wheels: American Classic AM
Grips: Raceface Half Nelson
Tires: Maxxis Minion DHF (front), Maxxis High Roller II, both >50% life
Misc: flashy new valves, fresh sealant, orange cable housing

BONUS: I'll include a custom frame bag (see photo) from Rouge Panda designs, >$200 value. Great for long days or bikepacking!

Pedals and bell are mine unless you pay extra.

This is an awesome bike. I've kept it mostly taped, but there are a few scratches. A few small weird component choices thanks to COVID (only one tanwall tire, non-Icetech front rotor), but overall it's well fitted out! It could probably use a bearing overhaul sometime soon, but Santa Cruz still covers all the parts. The rear rim has taken some hits and shows it, but still holds air no problem with a tubeless setup. You're not getting a brand new bike, but you're paying a lot less than you would for the same parts hung on a slightly newer frame.

Would consider a trade to an 29er hardtail or aggressive 29er drop bar bike. Buyer pays shipping, but I'd love to sell locally so you can check the bike out if possible.
