Mar 5, 2025RAAW Madonna V2 Medium
$2500 USDRAAW Madonna V2 Size Medium
https://raawmtb.com/en-us/pages/madonna-v2
The best mountain bike I have ever ridden without a doubt - does everything well. As in all the reviews, it's strengths are its versatility despite the weight and travel, its durability, and its cornering ability. I'm only selling so that I can make room for the new V3 frame - asking price is the cost of a new frame. This frame is the V2, which is essentially identical geometry and kinematics, but without the modular shock mount that allows for running it mullet. It does have adjustable chainstay lengths and it will come with the short (440mm) and the medium (445mm) configuration hardware. It is running the rocker 60 that produces 160mm of travel with a 60mm stroke shock. The Fox X2 is 60mm stroke and the super deluxe ultimate coil has 65mm stroke which gives it 170mm of travel. Can sell with either shock, or both for an extra $200. The bike is more poppy and playful with the air shock and more planted and stable with the coil shock. I fixed the rear brake routing with a nuun bottle tool stash (blue cap in the main pivot) - this fixes the issue of huge brake cable growth through the travel.
I just competed a full tear-down and served all of the bearings which are running smooth. The bike had 3m tape all over it, so the frame and paint look new. The only original items on the bike is the frame itself, everything else is newer (see below).

Feb 2, 2025Rocky Mountain Element C50 XT with Pike 140
$2500 USDMedium RM Element C50 - XT 12 speed build with the awesome Shimano single-pot brakes. Full carbon frame, only 28 lb without pedals. Upgraded the fork to a pike 140mm and meatier tires otherwise fully stock. It is the perfect down country / trail bike - climbs very efficiently but also has aggressive geometry and can descend really well. The ride 4 adjustment really changes the character of the bike - can set it up with a low BB, slack head angle and progressive suspension for descending bias or set it up steeper with a higher BB (and TWO water bottle mounts) for backcountry days. The adjustment also changes the travel from 118 to 128mm between the four settings. The 140mm fork really opens this bike up to everything in the front range. The bike is in excellent shape with the only sign of wear and tear in the rear rim as it has a couple dings. Chain is new and tires are both in great shape. It’s a medium so suits riders from 5’-6” up to 5’-11”. Can sell with flat pedals or spd’s. Check out the RM website for full specs or check out a review below:

Similar bike to the transition spur and the Santa Cruz tallboy but descends better with the fork upgrade. Zippy enough for XC, light enough for big backcountry days and solid enough for FR trail riding.
