2004 Santa Cruz Blur 1.0

I got a screaming deal on this frame. After riding full suspension Santa Cruz frames at work, I decided that the Chameleon is not enough for the riding that I do. The first week I had this bike build up, I just moved the parts on my Chameleon. The only thing I changed was the stem and handlebars which were wider than the Ritcheys I had. The bike did not last a week as I wrecked the SRAM XO derailleur in half and destroyed the dropouts from a rock. After scrounging around the bike shop random parts bin, I found some XO trigger shifters and long cage derailleur. I replaced the dropout and put them on. I also moved the cranks from my Soma Juice to this bike and replaced the big ring with a bashguard. I also replaced the crappy XC tires with some wide high volume Maxxis Ardent 2.25. I jumped ship to tubeless, they are easier to work with than tubes. The only big purchase I made for this bike is the rear shock. I replaced the shitty Progressive Air can that was in it with a brand new Fox Float CTD Evolution which was lightyears ahead of the old shock. Right now, this bike weighs in at 26 lbs set up as a short travel trail bike.
