S.C. Bronson CC (Lg) With Extra Hardware/Parts

$2500 USD
Hello Pinkbikers! I am finally in a position to get a new bike, so this one must go. Here is a little bit of an unsolicited backstory... I worked in the bike industry from the spring of '99 until the winter of '21. I was fortunate enough to own and ride many bikes over the course of that time, and this Bronson is the last bike I ever employee purchased. In 2020, my family and I moved from Austin, TX to Chattanooga, TN. This move gave me the opportunity to go back to school and ultimately switch career paths. Unfortunately, this meant no new bike for me for awhile (until now). This bike was ridden on a regular basis on the trails in Austin, TX. from the time I purchased it until the summer of '19. Then, after moving to Chattanooga, the bike was still ridden (but not so often) until the spring of '20. That is when I went back to school to begin my new career in healthcare. Since that time, this bike has been on fewer than 30 rides. Besides the information you can find on Santa Cruz's website (https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/product-support/bronson-3), here are the details. First off, if Better Bolts made a replacement piece of hardware for this bike or any of the components on it, I replaced it. Some of the bolts are Ti colored, some are black, and some are oil slick. With that being said, all the original hardware is in like-new condition and included in the sale of the bike. Frame: - CC carbon, Large - All suspension, frame protection, and the seatpost collar hardware have been replaced (oil slick Ti) - An extra chain stay protector and some rubber frame grommets are included in the sale (see photos) - The new bearing kit is yours Fork: - Fox 36 Performance Elite - The air cap and high speed compression cap have been replaced with a kit from Better Bolts (the original parts are in like-new condition and are included in the sale, see photos) - Original fork hardware has been replaced (black and oil slick Ti) - Mucky Nutz fender Rear Shock: - RS Super Deluxe with MegNeg canister (the original canister is in like-new condition and is included in the sale, see photos) Wheels: - Hubs: DT 350 with 54t upgrade (Serviced for new owner, see photos) - Rims: Dirt Components Rough Country carbon fiber (this company was owned by a friend of mine back in Austin... he has since moved on to other ventures) - Asymmetric drilling to even out spoke length and tension - 30mm inner rim width - Spokes: DT Competition - Nipples: DT black brass - Valves: Muc-Off oil slick (these are the new valves that are not supposed to clog, see photos) Tires: - Front: Maxxis Minion DHF, 2.6, EXO+,3C max terra - Rear: Maxxis Minion DHR II, 2.4WT, EXO+, 3C max terra - Sealant: Stans - These are brand new (see photos) Crankset: - X1, carbon, 175mm Chainring: - Wolftooth, 32t (the original one has plenty of life left and you get that too, see photos) - Chainring mounting hardware was replaced (black Ti) Chain: - XX1 oil slick (you also get an XX1 black chain [no quick link] that has plenty of life, see photos) Shifter: - X01 - Thumb paddle replaced with PNW paddle (original one is flawless and is included in the sale, see photos) - Top case hardware replaced (black Ti) Rear Derailleur: - X01 - Pulleys replaced with Sram Black Box ceramic bearing pulleys (oil slick Ti) - All derailleur hardware except for the main mounting bolt has been replaced (black Ti) Chainguide: - Ethirteen TRS+, ISCG-05 - Mounting hardware replaced (oil slick Ti) Brakes: - Code RSC (pad are resin and have about 5 rides on them) - Lever and caliper hardware replaced with black and oil slick Ti Rotors: - Centerline: 200mm front, 180mm rear Handlebar: - Ethirteen Plus 35 aluminum (5d rise, 9d backsweep), 780mm Grips: - PNW Loam Stem: - Ethirteen Plus 35 aluminum (0d rise, 50mm) - Hardware replaced (black Ti) Headset: - Wolftooth - The original headset (Cane Creek 40) is in like-new condition and is included in the sale (see photos) - 1 tall and 1 short upper bearing cover are included (see photos) - 1 set of upper/lower Cane Creek Hellbender bearings are included in the sale (see photos) Dropper Post: - PNW Rainier gen 2, 170mm - Lever: PNW Loam Saddle: - SDG Bel Air 3.0, Lux-Alloy rails Pedals: - Ethirteen Plus, aluminum I think that covers everything. If it's in the photos (except for objects in the background) then, it comes with the bike...except for maybe the H20 cage, bottle, and tool... unless you really want that too. The price includes boxing and shipping within the contiguous United States. Any additional fees are on you. Don't even bother contacting me with a ridiculous offer, and no trades... I've got a new bike on the way. I will be happy to provide any additional information or photos. Thanks for looking at my add!

Let's give those Renthal grips the credit they deserve...a much better grip compared to the Ruffian IMO.

Review: Santa Cruz Bronson V3
@doe222: Exactly! I bought my first bike in '94 (initial investment.) Been rollin' that money forward towards the next bike every year since.

@nation: I work for the local S.C. dealer (18+ years.) Got the bike and put in the 54t upgrade just as I have with every other DT spec'd bike I've ever owned. All is well in my world

Review: Santa Cruz Bronson V3
@jzPV: Agreed...I work in the industry and am fortunate enough to purchase my bikes at ep pricing. Unless the current bike you own is gonna be your last you're better off selling it after a year to get the best r.o.i. and rolling that cash into the next complete bike. Plus you won't find yourself stuck with a bike that is no longer considered the latest and greatest with regards to industry standards. If this isn't a consideration or important to you then run it 'til it dies and start over. Either way works...just keep riding and be happy!
