2 daysKnolly Warden Complete with Carbon Wheels, XT, More
$5,000 USDI spec’d this brand new and built it to the 9’s then we gutted the house down the studs and had another kid and I never rode it again. It has sat for years in primo condition. Literally three rides at Nisene Marks.

The Warden puts in you a terrific riding position for the ups, the downs, the downs again and everything in between. Contrary to some of the more extreme long/slack geometry trends, the steering doesn't force you to make any radical changes by weighting the front end and the 27.5" wheels respond to quick, tight steering better than any 29er.
Details:
Frame: Medium 2021 Knolly Warden with Fox X2 Factory Shock
Wheelset: Light Bicycle AM730 Carbon Wheels, Sapim CX-Ray spokes with Industry 9 Hydra hubs setup tubeless with e13 tape/valves/sealant. These wheels are outstanding. They hold air for weeks. Light, strong, comfortable. Lime hubs to match Chris King Sour Apple completes the subtle flair.
Maxxis Minion Tires 2.5/2.3
Manitou Mezzer Pro fork @ 160mm and adjustable. This fork is butter. Once you learn how to balance the pressure in the chambers, it's unreal to feel the smoothness when compared to some other modern forks.
Chris King's Sour Apple Headset & Bottom Bracket. You can't buy these anymore and this bike has a complete set.
Full Shimano XT 12 Speed Drivetrain with XTR shifter. It doesn't get much better than this combo. Shifts are as fast as you want them.
Bike Yoke Revive Dropper with Wolf Tooth Remote. This combo doesn't get any better. Congrats, you'll have the best dropper ever when you buy this machine.
Shimano XT Brakes (203 Centerlock XTR, 180 XT 6 Bolt Rotors). Super reliable and no brake fade wins the day every time.
Enve 780 Carbon Bar. Brand new. Enve speaks for itself.
Paul Boxcar Stem. Paul makes the best stem in the game, bonus points for an upside down faceplate.
Absolute Black 28t Chainring - Best ovals anywhere, my bum knee has been loving AB for years.
Ti Bolts where available.
Spacers (Mix of Chris King and Carbon)
Specialized Body Geo Saddle (prefer not to sell, but make me an offer)
XTR Pedals Garmin Mount & Ti bottle cage not included in price.
Pickup local or….
Shipping and packing to USA, paid by buyer and UPS preferred. For International buyers, you'll need to pay for insurance and proper packaging.
My receipts put this well into the $9,000 range so please don't low ball me.
