you've picked a killer frame, love the 5010I guess its been quite a few years since i posted a new bike. Haven't ridden much for a few years and technology keeps changing. New to me are 27.5" wheels, 11 speed drivetrain, tubeless ready tyres, wide bars and bloody boost hubs. About to take it for a shakedown ride and reckon I may have a few issues as all I've ridden is 26" dual control with cross country width bars.
Build basics are:
Santa Cruz 5010 CC large frame with Fox Shock
Rockshox Pike RCT3 130
Shimano XTR 1x11 Drivetrain
Shimano XTR M9020 Trail Brakes
Chris King inset headset
Arc 24's on centrelock DT Swiss 350 hubs with DT Revolution Spokes, 36 point engagement hub mod
Candy 3 Pedals
Fizik Gobi Saddle
Reverb Stealth 125 seatpost
Thomson 70mm Stem
Easton carbon lo riser bars 740 wide
Nobby Nics up front, Racing Ralphs on back with Stans
Worth the wait, that thing is stunning.I guess its been quite a few years since i posted a new bike.
10 years later & i've pretty much only changed the tyres.I tend to take the piss a lot when racing I usually race something more "suitable", DBR Axis TT
The Glide is my all time fave bike, but alas, it is still in NZ & I'm in Hobart.
Still an absolute banger! Love it!10 years later & i've pretty much only changed the tyres.
