Santa Cruz Bronson

[MrCove]

well, what do we think?

 

[Greeny_SA]

..........Want.

Such a let down.. They were promising something "completely different". Instead we got a blur lt that you don't have to shim the shock on to fit 650b wheels. I wanted a santa cruz phat bike, or a recumbent or something..

Meh....

I was hoping they'd change the VPP. There's no doubt in my mind that they make a quality product, but I can't get excited about any of their bikes. Especially for something that's considered boutique.

mmmmmmm, like a Blur LT, but longer in the TT, longer in the WB, lower SO, lighter, has 27.5 wheels as standard, slacker HA, more travel, with a lower BB

i can't see the Blur LT staying in the line up for much longer, or it having an extensive facelift

It's just a Blur-son LTc for the new 275 era....

The video on the SC site is pretty sweet.. but i reckon those 4 could make any bike look rad.

Shit name. Great bike. I don't care if it's not radically different, I'll be ordering one before xmas.

Was expecting more fanboys to come out.

Looks slick. If it rides anything like a carbine 275 it will rock.

Great video. Says it so well.

I'm here Andy! I'm a fanboy! (Despite what Gripper says)...

 

[andy]

Of course you are

 

[Bermshot]

The price of the frames seem comparatively decent (US prices) but $10.600 for the Enve, cough...splutter!

 

[October26]

Damn, now I need that bike.

Compared how much my 1996 Super 8 cost they are a bargain.

That bike looks like sex... Great vid on the thought process behind a product.
