Thanks to a few guys on here and around home I have finally ended up with my new ride.
Thanks must go out to BMepic and MrCove for some advice as i was looking at this the Mojo HD and an Stumpy Evo. Got to test ride the blur and fell in lust.
Big thanks must go to Robbie and the crew at Drift bikes Newcastle for their help in making this a reality.
Even bigger thanks must go to my wonderful wife for letting me spend a heinous amount of money on a bike.
Sorry about the pics, they are the only ones i have at the moment. Will post up some better ones when I get some time.
The lowdown.
2011 Santa Cruz Blur LT Carbon Medium
Fork - 2011 Rock Shox Revelation XX WC (Took a bit of a gamble here after hearing some wonderful things about this fork, Fall back will be to grab a 36 Float and drop it to 150)
Gruppo - SRAM XO 2 x 10
Brakes - SRAM XO
Shock - 2011 RP23 (Was hoping for a Kashima coated shock but you get that on the big jobs)
Wheels - Crank Bros Iodine 3
Tyres - Specialized Purgatory/ Eskar 2Bliss combo w/stans
Saddle - SDG Bel Air (Not the lightest, thinking about grabbing one of the specialized Phenoms if I don't like this)
Post - Rock Shox Reverb
Bars - Easton Haven Carbon
Grips - Oury Lock Ons (Grabbing a set of Ergon GA1's to see how they go in the near future)
Stem - Thomson 70mm
Headset - King
Pedals - Shimano XTR Trail
Can't wait to get this out on the trails and start to get it dialed all i have had time for is a few trips to work and back
