Default caved and got full-s

I got a Santa Cruz blur. It's in my photo gallery, if anybody's interested. who has this bike? what doya think of it? mine is slightly used and annodized. basically stole this baby off ebay. i've been spying on it for a week. god, i love ebay!

i think it's a good weight for me, and it's got enough travel. i didn't want something too "burly" (as Bret would say).

now i just gotta figure out how to get through the rest of summer on 500 bucks ... ha ha (good thing I paid all my rent already!)

a bike shop in vegas sold it to me. they have a site. look legit. i talked to the guys on the phone.

well, they sold two small blurs, because they were not getting rented out a lot. the bike was a rental for one season, so it's got its share of scratches ... but i've never been one for cosmetics

Very nice!

Hanging around this group can get expensive, but what else are you going to spend your money on?

thanks, guys. yeah, it's a small! better be. i'm only 5'2". it's 29 lbs or so ... not too heavy. i couldn't handle much more. i don't weigh a ton. i think it was a good choice, but everyone has their own opinions on bikes ...

Love them stealth black bikes. Don't worry about the scratches, you can cover them with dirt!
