Retrobike Rider
Santa Cruz Blur Classic (2004)
Medium frame, Metallic Orange
Asking price £400 (ono)
Measurements and spec - https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-GB/product-support/blur-1-classic
Condition:
Overall, very good – with standard amount of chain and cable rub.
BUYER AWARE – 2 points of more significant frame wear: inside chain stays there is a groove down to bare metal resulting from too large rear tyre (thinner tyre now fitted); also top tube, non-drive side wear to bare metal from cables and cable tie. See photos. Price reflects this wear and tear.
Service history:
20-year-old bike with relatively light use; regularly serviced. Last major service Jan 2022 at Head For The Hills, Dorking (ridden 3 times since): fork and rear shock dismantled and full service, brakes bled, wheel true, replacement rear tyre.
