Jul 19, 2026Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate, needs shaft, shipped
$120 USDREAD AD CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING.
Excellent Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate air shock, 210x55. This is the non-HBO version with high- and low-speed compression. Very low miles and was in excellent working condition when removed. However …
It was originally a 210x50 (stock from a Revel Rascal SL) and I wanted to run 210x55. When removing the internal 5mm spacer, I scratched the stock shaft (see pic). The shaft needs to be replaced. The part is available through SRAM at $60 retail, plus service cost to replace it. I was quoted $100 labor. I no longer have a frame that takes this size.
$120. This includes fees and shipping in CONUS. I do have the stock volume spacers and two unused 30x8 bushings you can have as well.

Story says Kaz rode a size large, but the geo he quotes is from the M/L size. Which is correct?

Jul 2, 2026Santa Cruz Hightower V3 custom, will trade
$3500 USDFor sale or trade. Trade preferable (see list at bottom). 2024 Santa Cruz Hightower C, size XL, full carbon, 29er. This is the V3 version of this long-running all mountain rig.
This is a frame up build with only a few hundred miles on the frame. Covered in custom ride wrap. The frame is near-perfect; any flaws you see are on the tape or dirt in the seams. 145mm rear travel with high low geo settings. Internal frame storage.
Shock is a newer Fox Float X Performance Elite in 210x55.
New Cane Creek 40/Wolftooth headset.
Newer Manitou Mezzer Pro fork. This thing is a beast. Lighter than a Lyrik, stiff, incredibly adjustable. Currently set at 150mm travel. Internally adjustable with included spacers from 140 to 180.
Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain with new XT shifter and XT chain, OneUp bash, 32 ring, 10-51 cassette.
Fresh Magura Trail Sport brakes with 180 Magura rotors.
Wheelset is WTB i30 rims laced to Shimano hubs. Newer Butcher and Eliminator tires, tubeless, T9 and T7, Mucoff valves.

PNW Loam 38mm riser bars cut to 780, Spank 40mm stem, ODI push-on grips (several different grips available).
Pedals, bottle cage not included.
Please don’t waste my time. This is a fantastic deal on an exceptional bike. Pick up near Hawes in NE Mesa, AZ. I have zero interest in shipping. However, if you have an interesting trade in a good regional ride location, I’m always up for a road trip.
Interested in trades within the following parameters: mountain bikes in size XL only, full suspension, 29 or mullet, modern. In particular Banshee Titan (possibly Prime), current-gen Stumpjumper 15, SC Tallboy, new Trek Fuel (Gen 7 only). Please, no hardtails, no gravel/road and no e-bikes. Can add cash if necessary. Willing to consider frame only as well. Send PM with trade details.
Thank you for reading.

May 10, 20262024/25 Revel Rascal SL, will trade
$3000 USDFor sale or trade. Trade preferable (see list at bottom). 2024/25 Revel Rascal SL, size XL, full carbon, 29er. Revel doesn’t do specific model years as far as I can tell. This is the same Rascal SL frame currently being sold, but in the previous Prickly Pear colorway.
This is a frame up build with only a few hundred miles on the frame. Covered in AMS, bike is clean with a couple minor paint chips. I have it built as a short-travel AM bike, but could easily move to an XC/trail with a fork and tire swap.
Two shock are available. The stock shock is a 210x50 Rockshox SDU, which is really nice. Second is a new Fox Float X Performance Elite in 210x55, which provides ~143mm rear travel.
New Cane Creek 40 headset.
Newer Manitou Mezzer Pro fork. This thing is a beast. Lighter than a Lyrik, stiff, incredibly adjustable. Currently set at 150mm travel. Internally adjustable with included spacers from 140 to 180.
Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain with new XT shifter, OneUp bash and guide, 32 ring.
Fresh Magura Trail Sport brakes with 180 Magura rotors.
Wheelset is WTB i30 rims laced to Shimano hubs. New Butcher and Eliminator Grid Trail tires, tubeless, T9 and T7, Mucoff valves.
New PNW Loam 225 dropper in silver with PNW trigger. WTB saddle.
PNW Loam 38mm riser bars cut to 780, Spank 40mm stem, PNW grips.
Pedals, bottle cage, tool mount not included.
Please don’t waste my time. This is a fantastic deal on an exceptional bike. No shipping. Pick up near Hawes in NE Mesa or we can meet somewhere. Willing to do a short roadtrip with a good riding destination.
Interested in trades within the following parameters: mountain bikes in size XL only, full suspension, 29 or mullet, modern. In particular: Banshee Prime or Titan, current-gen Stumpjumper 15, Giant Reign. Please, no hardtails, no gravel/road and no e-bikes. Can add cash if necessary. Willing to consider frame only as well.

Mar 24, 2026Rocky Mountain Instinct frameset, shipped
$1200 USDNeed this gone. Lightly used 2024 RM Instinct XL frameset. Full carbon. Wrapped in high-wear areas. Excellent condition with very small paint scratches indicative of use in a rocky environment. Full geo specs on bikes.com
This is one of the more adjustable modern frames on the market. Replaceable headset cups offer 10mm of reach adjustment (both cup sets included), four-position geometry adjustment at the shock. 10mm of chainstay length adjustment.
I replaced the stock Fox Float with a new Float X in 210x55. This is fully authorized by Rocky to bump to 150 rear travel. The shock stroke is internally adjustable in 2.5mm increments. The 52.5 stroke is stock for 140 travel.
This is a great price for this frame. Full carbon XL frameset, Float X shock and stock shock in 52.5 stroke, all headset cups, bags for internal storage, Shimano 24mm BB, seat clamp and axle.
I would consider a full XT or XTR 10-45 drivetrain in partial trade if you’re local.
$1200 for everything listed. That price includes PP fees and insured shipping in CONUS. I will knock $200 off with only the stock shock included.

Review: Orbea's 2026 Rallon Enduro Proves Long-Travel Enduro Bikes Aren't Dead
I’m at the stage in this hobby where — after years of buying the next big thing — I spend almost no money outside of consumables these days. Never owned an Orbea, but this is the most exciting (for me) bike I’ve read about in years.
