    SOLD! :thumbsup:

    I got this last April, but was injured so couldn't ride it for 6 months. Once I got better I went for a couple rides and realized it's too big for me. So basically a new bike in excellent condition with about 30 miles on dirt and a few rides around the neighborhood.

    It's set up as a 29, but can run 27.5+. All stock with the exception of an upgraded rear hub (DT 350)/DT spokes, a KS Lev Integra dropper post and new Shimano M8020 pedals.

    Original price from The Path was just over $3,250, plus the $300 KS seat post. I'm asking $2,350.

    Large/gray
    Fox Rhythm 34 120mm fork
    Fox Float DPS 110mm shock
    Race Face Aeffect 30T crankset
    SRAM XG1150 10-42T cassette
    SRAM Level T brakes
    Avid Centerline 180 rotors
    WTB ST i23 TCS rims
    Maxxis Minion 29X2.3 DHF front and Crossmark II 29X2.25 rear (tubeless)
    Race Face 35X760 bars
    Race Face Volt saddle

    I'm putting this on imtbtrails first, since we have so much SC love. Please PM me if interested. Thanks!

    Nice ride there.....surprised you found it too big. I'm glad it's not carbon, it might've been too tempting.

    Wow, sweet bike, Jim! Bummer it's not working, but I'm also surprised about the fit since you're about my size. Maybe it's the "long" trend that's throwing ya? Can ya move your saddle fwd a bit and put a 50mm stem on it (looks like a 60 there)? Maybe a 0° stem or negative flop will decrease bigness?

    Thanks for offering it up here first. :thumbsup:

    Beautiful bike, love that primer grey color. My current love affair with the hijacked Hightower has had me eyeing the tallboy as it is a lighter, better pedaling option that still holds it's own when pointed downhill. Gotta sell a certain Yeti first though. Inquiring minds want to know what's next though...???

    I'm trying to convince a friend to buy this. Does it have the NX drivetrain or GX?

    Thanks @Ebruner, that'd be cool!

    Drivetrain's NX, and I live near Cook's Corner if he'd like to check it out.

    @kioti If this bike is still available this coming weekend, I'd like to take a look at it and see if I can make a large work. One quick question, what's the wheel spacing (boost or non-boost)? Thanks!

    I'm about 5'11" with the legs of a gazelle and the reach of a T-Rex. I'm currently on a medium Ripley, which has a similar standover to the Tallboy, but a shorter top tube. That's why I say my body's not built to factory specs. I need a 150mm dropper post on both these bikes for full leg extension on climbs, but feel more centered on the Ripley when descending.

    Thanks Jim! Made all my cockpit and suspension setup personalizations & took a quick neighborhood test ride yesterday and then rolled her up & down SJT today. Super stoked and impressed on how much this bike does well. Man, bikes are so good these days.

    You're welcome @Makoto! And thank you! I love that your first ride was on the San Juan Trail. Way to jump into it!

    Thanks to imtbtrails as well for having a great community of riders and helping me find a good home for this bike.
