Up for offer is my favorite A/M trail bike: my 2009 Santa Cruz Blur LT 2 - medium frame size (I am 5'8" and it fits me perfectly). I have owned it since new, and have probably spent as much time cleaning and maintaining it as I have riding it- but in my opinion that's almost as much fun. The bike has been maintained more than your average used bike would be as I am a mechanic by trade, so maintaining my toys is something I just HAVE to do! Since I am a little older rider, the bike has not been abused as most A/M - trail bikes tend to be. I don't have the ability (or desire) for the big jumps, or the crazy tricks- I just have fun riding. Our normal riding spot is usually in the Stewart NY state park , which has fast and flowy singletrack and trails, with a fair number of obstacles you'd expect to find, but it's not the real rough stuff like Blue mountain, or Mountain Creek, or Whistler (although I did try downhill at Mountaincreek this year with a rented bike and had a blast!) as of 01/18/13 I flushed the brake system this past weekend and installed Galfer brand 5.1 brake fluid - which is a high quality motorcycle brake fluid- not cheap stuff but it works good! I also found a new nylon clip/retainer to run the seat dropper control cable through- nice addition - looks cleaner too. When new the bike invoice was 4445.00 , and that was before the hydraulic seat post and minor upgrades so I think my asking price is realistic. I created a list of all the pertinent info on the bike- if you find anything I left out feel free to send an email or give me a call.
