FS: Santa Cruz Highball Carbon 29er (L)- basically brand new

**smmokan** · 04-04-2014, 07:07 PM

Just finished the build this week, the bike is basically all brand new except for the wheels and the crankset. The wheels are perfectly true and barely have a scratch on them. The crankset has a few marks on the crank arms, but otherwise is in excellent condition. The rest of the bike is brand new, never ridden. I built this up thinking it would replace my TallboyC, but I realized quickly that I need some rear squish around here. Plus, I don't intend on racing.

Here's a link to my CL ad for a few more pictures: http://boulder.craigslist.org/bik/4403812341.html

Call it $2600 picked up locally. Shipping is extra if needed, I'm in Boulder.

Gah.

Need new job to afford...

Free bump.

Bump it up.... $2600.

I have a few wheelsets to choose from if you don't want the Crests. I also have SRAM Rise 40s and Easton EA70 XCTs.

Wish it was a medium frame. Sweet looking bike.

22lbs?! wow.
Tell me about the ea70s

WG- you know Santa Cruz's run small, right? I'm between 5'10" and 5'11" and it fits perfectly.

Stuck- don't quote me on the weight since I haven't properly weighed the bike, but it has to be close. The EA70 XCT wheelset is in mint condition- I bought it for another build and haven't been able to use them yet so they're just sitting in my garage. No scratches, basically mint condition. The Easton website says they're 1745g, so about 150g heavier than the Crests but definitely stronger. These are them:

I have some. Rims are a little narrow, and the low spoke count (24 f/r) had me worried at first, but so far I have no complaints. I banged the rear rim into some stuff fairly hard experimenting with tire pressures and they stayed straight. Fairly light, not too expensive, and UST. And they look cool.

I've got the EA70XCT's on a carbon highball now. I've got a couple thousand miles on it and the wheels have been trouble free. I also love a real tubeless wheelset, so much easier.

Well, I should probably get paid first at my new job, and figure out budget and shit, but how much you want for em?

**Whiteroom_Guardian** · 04-10-2014, 12:02 PM

I'm 5'7" on a good day. Don't think I could ride a large frame.

**smmokan** · 04-10-2014, 12:10 PM

Yeah, you're probably right. I didn't know you were so short.

**smmokan** · 04-11-2014, 05:11 PM

Updated with new pictures. I decided to put the Stan's Crest wheels on my Tallboy, so the SRAM Rise wheelset is now on the Highball. I'm still willing to swap in some Easton EA70 XCT wheels if you want, too.
