2018 Santa Cruz Hightower LT S C XL - price reduced

This is a gloss slate and grey 2018 Santa Cruz Hightower LT. It is their C carbon build in the S build. I have made some upgrades and changes to the bike since I've owned it. I bought it brand new in the spring of 2018 and typically ride about ~500 miles a year in Utah. I've had this bike professionally serviced annually at Salt Cycles and GoRide bike shops here in Salt Lake. This bike was last serviced at the end of the 2022 season with a full performance tune and a new bearing replacement. I also got new tires at that time. I believe I've ridden it about 20 miles since then. This bike is a bit much for what I ride so I went with something more trail oriented.

This bike has some cosmetic dings in the paint including some rubbing from the shift and brake cables. I put clear nail polish over all of the rock strikes etc. when I noticed them. I would be happy to send closer photos of any of them if curious, it's average for bike that's been ridden 5 seasons. Local pickup would be highly preferred and I would drop $100 off the sale price for pick up. Otherwise, buyer pays full cost of packing and shipping the bike from a local service. I haven't used PinkBike for buy/sell in the past, but I have had this account since 2008 and have an account on newschoolers.com from 2004 with more feedback as well. Please let me know if I can offer more info or photos.
