Up for sale is a Santa Cruz Hightower that I’ve never gotten to ride due to health issues. I was about to build it up to sell (at my age and health, it’s just a bit too much bike) and figured I’ll post it pre-build up in case any home wrenchers want to get a good deal and build it themselves. Specs - 2020 Hightower C xl frame - Cascade link, pushed rear travel to 145mm because we all know how much those extra 5mm mean (along with the tweaked progression curve for any suspension nerds out there). I’ll include the stock link with the flip chip. - stock rockshox super deluxe + rear shock - 160mm rockshox Zeb Ultimate fork barely used - dt Swiss xm481 wheelset with 350 hubs (54t ratchet) - Includes any and all tires (maxxis 2.5 shorty barely used, maxxis dhf minnion 2.5 wt, maxxis 2.4 dhr minnion, schalbe 2.4 def kaiser rear tire) along with tannus tubeless inserts (front tire has the tannus in it but rear doesn’t). I can also throw in a bottle of Stan’s) 170mm rockshox reverb 2.0 dropper with specialized henge saddle Brand new still in box/wrapping: - TRP Quadiem dh brakes - 12 speed xt derailleur and shifter - 11-50 sunrace 12 speed cassette - xt bottom bracket, xt 170 crankset. One up 30t oval chainring (I may get a chain guide/bash guard with the bars) - spank spike race 35mm stem (I have matching green lettering for the frame that I haven’t installed) - cane creek 40 headset - fifty/fifty pedals - race face sixc 785mm/31.8 dh carbon bars 20mm rise Frame has frame protection on it from dyed bro, there’s some residue from some other stickers I gotta scrub off… Only things I need to get before building is a chain, a couple 200mm rotors, and maybe some brake adapters. Overall this bike is in really good shape. Free shipping in the continental US. We can split PayPal/Venmo fees. I’m in Sacramento, the Bay Area and Mount Shasta/Dunsmuir often and can deliver as well.

This is a take off from an Ibis Ripmo AF that was barely used (I swapped it for a cane creek in-line coil). I also have some various mounting hardware if you need it. This pairs well with any 145ish mm travel trail/light enduro bikes like the ripmo, hightower, meta tr, etc.
