Go for it man. Both good bikes. Either would be good. Just pick on and pay for it. You'll like them.

Yeah, they both look pretty good. I think the blue one might be better even if it is more expensive, the parts look newer and in better condition.

Still paying $1,900 for a bike you'd be expecting a great bike. Thats more then mine NEW!


Your right the blue one looks better. 8" rotors. The components look better.

http://www.cripplefight.com/smileys/hitit.gif You will be riding a good bike. $2000 and under is not bad for a complete SC bike; hell my front fork was $1400!!

IMO: When you buy Santa Cruz, you're adding alot of $$$ for the name. Just remember, the bike don't make the rider... I paid only $1000 for my brand new 2004 Haro Xtreme X2, and it'll go anywhere those two will go, and still let me have almost another $1000 to spend on either another bike or whatever. Don't get caught-up in the fashion wars in mtn.biking.
