As I’m sure you can gather from the photos, this bike has a bit of a story so buckle in. Frame is a combo Juliana Maverick CC front triangle (same frame different paint to a Hightower) and Santa Cruz Hightower C rear triangle. The front triangle has a small, superficial crack on the bottom side of the toptube, the rear triangle had a small superficial crack on the brake side chainstay that was repaired two years ago (last two pictures). The bike has been ridden in this condition for the last year with no problems or growth in the existing toptube crack, if you need evidence feel free to message me for my Instagram or Strava where you can see how fast this bike will go and how good it’ll let you jib. Frame: Juliana Maverick CC/Santa Cruz Hightower C large, Cascade Components long travel lower link offering 150mm, RockGuardz carbon bb skidplate Fork: Marzocchi Z1 170mm, DSD Runt and Diaz damper tune, freshly serviced with zero miles Shock: Fox DPX2 PS-E mid/mid compression/rebound, .8 volume spacer Wheels: Ibis S35 alloy, Ibis hubs Tires: Schwalbe Magic Mary Super Gravity Soft rear, Big Betty Super Trail Soft front, both 29x2.4 Brakes: TRP Quadiem, Sram Centerline 220mm x 2mm thick rotors f/r Shifter: Sram GX Eagle Derailleur: Sram NX Eagle Cassette: Sram NX Eagle 11-50t Chain: NEW Sram GX Eagle Crank: RaceFace Turbine 175mm, NEW 30t chainring, NEW BB Bar: NEW RaceFace Aeffect R 760mm, 20mm rise Stem: NEW e13 40mm, 35mm clamp Headset: Cane Creek 40 series (upper seal says 10 series, bearings and races are 40 series) Dropper: PNW Loam 200mm (adjustable 170-200 travel) Saddle: Liv Sylvia Grips: Lizard Skins Charger Evo (best grip for no glove bros) EXTRAS: Stock Marzocchi air cap + volume spacers, 150mm Marzocchi air spring, .6 DPX2 volume spacer, special low positive/high negative volume air can (this can take a bunch of pressure, riders over 170lbs will exceed max shock pressure with this can installed), new TRP organic brake pads f/r. If you happen to have an Ibis XD hub driver, or your own rear wheel you’d wanna run, I’ll toss in a solid but used GX Eagle 10-50t cassette. Linkage bearings are all smooth as silk and recently serviced, rear shock had a recent damper bleed and air can refresh. Fork is freshly serviced including the air shaft, stanchions are perfect and lowers are pretty clean too. Freehub driver in wheel was just serviced (had to steal the XD driver for another bike, hence the NX cassette and HG driver), chainring and BB have under 40 miles, both tires have about 75% tread left and have never been cut or plugged, wheels spin true, dropper goes up and down great, and brakes are recently bled with gobs of power. I built this bike a year ago and have run multiple iterations of builds on it, all of them extremely capable. Suspension is dialed, this bike eats jank like nothing I’ve ridden before, tracks the ground well but plenty of support to pop over or cutty around whatever you want. Everything here is mechanically sound, bike is nice and quiet on trail. Paint was all sanded down to match my ‘76 Volvo and to copy Mitch Ropelatos old SC Bronson. Looking for $3000 but am open to any offer. I’ve got a grip of industry connections so don’t really want trades unless you’ve got something super rare. Will ship anywhere in US. Thank you for reading the book I just wrote, if you made it this far you should probably just message me cause you wouldn’t wanna read that much for nothing. Hit me up with any questions, I’m more than happy to answer. $3k, any offers will be entertained.

Brand new 2023 Cane Creek DB Air IL in 185x55mm trunnion. This is a new in box shock, never mounted or ridden. Unfortunately the frame this was supposed to go on is an indefinite no-show, so build plans have changed and this one won’t fit. Looking for $250 shipped anywhere in the continental 48. Cheers!

2020 RaceFace Turbine Cinch 175mm crankset. Cranks use 134/136mm spindle (functions great with Boost 148 and 142/135 rear hubs). Certainly used, but exclusively in XC terrain. Pedal threads, spindle fixing bolt, crank preload, and chainring threads all in great shape. Cranks nice and straight, great lightweight aluminum crankset. Looking for $75 shipped anywhere in the lower 48.
