Santa Cruz Tallboy

[bigelow]

Super sexy Santa Cruz Tallboy 2. Killer bike. Barely ridden......most importantly -- never ridden or raced by me!
During this low tide season consider buying a new bike over those new skis......or it would make a killer Xmas gift.
Special pricing for sugarloaftoday lurkers

Looks like a sweet bike. Too bad im probably wayyyy to short for it

[bigelow]

it is a sweet bike
I have another one that is my daily driver/race bike.
Their bikes run small....I am only 5-9 and have to ride a large. Bob Ash is only three apples tall and he rides a medium in Santa Cruz. I think it would fit you nice unless you are under 5 feet.

Just for reference what was sale price for a bike like this?

I think I bought mine for about $1000. Hard to say, I payed cash and have had it for 5 years

I sold it for $3100, which was a screaming deal.

For 2016 you can still buy nearly the identical bike from Santa Cruz (link below). The frame is identical. Full XTR gruppo. Biggest differences are slightly different (better) wheels on the stock bike over the above, and 2x11 gearing over the 3x10 on the above bike. For 2016 you would also be getting the latest technology from Fox, but I don't think there is much difference from what I can tell.

MSRP for the 2016 bike is $8099, which is basically what the above bike sold for in 2014. There is an Enve wheel upgrade available that bumps the price to $10,099. If anyone is interested in such a beast let me know and I can get you a deal.

10,000!!!! are you talking US Dollars?? wtf

I am pretty happy that my obsession is limited to skiing!

[bigelow]

Yep, $10,099 -- look how pretty it is!!!!!
Not saying it is worth it, but that is the price, USD. No idea what the MSRP is in the Canadian Republic.
You can spend more. For $10,099 you get regular old fashioned mechanical cable actuated shifting. The big boys are switching to electronic shifting, more $$$$

Holy crap.

For $10k I can get a two wheeled conveyance with 100 HP.
