As cool as they look and as expensive as they are, they aren't salvageable in event of a crash.

Haha, I always wanted a pair, came close to buying a used pair, but that was right around the time that they stopped existing, so I never went through with it.

Likewise but new, I ended up buying that orange santa cruz 5010 that I had posted instead.

If I bought a set, I'd had gotten the entry aluminum 5010 with deore, not the carbon CC that had X01 eagle 11.

Changed up some bits to the Steamroller, making it reasonably functional and fun.

Love the subtle browns on the cambium and the bars. Are they twine wrapped?

edit: never mind that's just some cork tape right?
