(*** Updated Spec - List Here: 5010 V2 ***)
Frame - 2018 Santa Cruz 5010 XL (V2) in "Ink Blue" (which is actually a dark turquiose - the colour namer at Santa Cruz must be colourblind I reckon!)
Rear shock - 2018 Fox Float DPS EVOL (200x51mm, 130mm wheel travel)
Front shock/fork - 2018 For Factory 34 (130mm travel)
Handlebars - Spank Spike Vibrocore (31.8mm, 50mm rise, cut to 770mm)
Stem - Thompson X4 40mm
Headset - Cane Creek 40
Grips - ODI Elite Pro
Saddle - Ergon SME3
Seatpost - BikeYoke Revive 185mm
Front brake - Hope Tech 3/E4 203mm Rotor
Rear brake - Hope Tech 3/E4 183mm Rotor
Cranks - Shimano XT
Chainguide - N/A
Chain - Shimano HG-701
Pedals - DMR Vault V12
Rear derailleur - Shimano XT (GS) with Wolftooth WolfCage
Rear shifter - Shimano XT
Cassette - Garbaruk 11-50t
Front hub - Hope Pro-4 "Boost"
Rear hub - Hope Pro-4 "Boost"
Front rim - Spank Oozy 345
Rear rim - Spank Oozy 345
Spokes - DT Swiss Comp
Tyres - Maxxis DHF 3C 2.6" (Front), Minion SS 2.3" DD (Rear)
Tubes - Stans Tubeless
Total weight - T.B.A
Basically I purchased as I was missing my previous 5010 a little too much, and while the Ibis Ripmo I had replaced that 5010 with was an awesome bike - I wasn't enjoying the 29er life.
While this build spec is certainly decent - I have quite a few changes planned for this bike in the not too distant future. Future plans involve:
If I go ahead and do both I would end up with a 140mm front/~138-140mm rear (up from 130mm/130mm stock) with a 65deg head angle that should still retain the light and poppy trailbike feel I like from these 5010s but with a bit more capability/safety in the rougher stuff. Not going to lie - I'm especially exicted to get the Project 321 wheels built up. Given the previous 5010 loved to "boost" off everything with the Hope Pro4 rear hub - this one tuned with a touch more midstroke support in the rear suspension and the new hubs should be a boost monster!
PS: Apologies on the crappy picture - gotta stop spending on bikes to buy a decent camera again!

While this build spec is certainly decent - I have quite a few changes planned for this bike in the not too distant future. Future plans involve:
- Project 321 hubs (already aquired, 216 POE "quiet" type rear) with Nextie carbon rims (still yet to be ordered, ~35mm internal width for front, and ~29mm for rear).
- Go back to the 2.5" Aggressor on the rear to give a bit more volume than the Minion SS to keep rim-strikes at bay, and add a little more tyre plush for:
- Pulling out the volume reducer (or swapping to a smaller reducer) in the stock shock to flatten off the spring curve. (While the bike is quite playful and poppy regardless, the bike blows through the first 2/3rds of rear travel waaaay too easily)
- Custom fork decals to match the frame, because one splash of orange looks a bit weird to me, and some other OCD minor colour-coding type things..
- Add a bash-guard for the chainring.
