2008 Santa Cruz XC Blur Restoration

I’ve been going mountain biking lately and I’ve been feeling the need to get a full suspension MTB. So, I found this Santa Cruz Blur over at bikeworks located in Columbia City, Seattle and it turned out to be my size. So I sent it and restored it from the ground up.

I took this unrideable bike under my wings and refurbished it with all the much needed upgrades.

If you are in the middle of a bike build or planning on building one, do share it with me on my instagram!

I’m also accepting donations through Venmo because everything does come out of my own pocket and it takes weeks out of my personal schedule to make these videos, thank you!!
