Yeah, I'm really pleased and I certainly came up trumps with the frame, Not a mark to mention on it. looking forward to going out on Monday hopefully.

Is it me or your pseudo should be Santacruzlacey now?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Yep, well done. Thats a really nice build & a very good choice of frame.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Might just do that Gilles
Posted 2 years ago # -
Good choice man.... looks sexy like mine...
Posted 2 years ago # -
Nice. The SL will defo be on my shortlist later on this year.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Should go very fast. Watchout for rear pinch flats as you ****t it into stuff!

"looks sexy like mine"
Aside from it being a bike, I'm so sure that the bar ends, middleburn? cranks, mudguards, wierd looking old saddle don't ruin it ..I like the blue. The bits look to suit it pretty well. The stem appears really long at first glance, but I'm not sure it really is? Is it about 110/105mm?
Posted 2 years ago # -
The stem is 100mm but yes it does look long in some of the photos
Posted 2 years ago # -
I'm not sure on the silver spacers as pointed out by a friend but they're easily changed.
I also nearly put some bar ends on it as well but held back, but i still might do as they really are ok to put on risers!!!!!!!!!!!!!Posted 2 years ago # -
Heres mine, set at 120mm, I ran it 100 to begin with but it is twice the bike at 120mm, angles are so much better.
MY SUPERLIGHTPosted 2 years ago # -
Very tidy looking build Scottlacey - if you ride light you'll find its a fantastic allrounder - have had one for nearly ten years and ridden everything from XC races to weeks in Morzine.
Having said all that, I have just sold it to a friend and am now building up an Epiphany, so maybe I need to change my name too...
Enjoy!
(oh and loose the mudguards Martyntr - all the aesthetic is lost)

That's nice Scott, you will really enjoy riding it, love my Superlight....the older version

Hello Dave I was wondering when you would come along. Yes very pleased, cheers mate.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Great bike, enjoy it mate.
My son rides a santa cruz and loves it
Posted 2 years ago # -
I like the colour and you won't be disappointed riding it. I bet you end up replacing the bits off the Rock Lobster and rebuilding it up...i know i would.
Posted 2 years ago # -
had mine for 3 years now wouldnt swap it for anything, except maybe a new superlight...
Posted 2 years ago # -
Dave its sitting in the garage all polished up ready to sell but I must admit to thinking about it and Pete said the same.

My Santa Cruz luverrrlyness
This was taken while still in 100mm setup. Now running my rebas without the spacers at 115mm, much better bike for it. The bar ends have gone now and I'm sitting on a Fizik Arione.
And to think I almost parted company with her last year. Glad I didn't

I want one!!!
They are selling them in leisure lakes for 1699 full build
not sure of the spec though?
anyone know?
Posted 2 years ago # -
I love the colours smarty, especially the red wall tyres, my first malt two had them and i loved that bike. Sadly sold it and regretted it big time as it was a lovely bike.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Go for it. It's nice to have an FS and an HT.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Been riding santa cruz bikes for over fifteen years... superlight is the best one yet
welcome to the club haha..
Posted 2 years ago # -
I like that Merlin malt. I'm looking for a hardtail for my commute. I'm lucky enough to have a 9 mile commute with 6 of it on the Leeds/Liverpool canal. Superlight is nice but don't need full suss for canal bank.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Smarty I sold the malt two for a rock lobster which looking back was a mistake as they are so alike. The lobster was the donor bike for the superlight
Posted 2 years ago # -
@OP - Very nice.
Did have a Superlight last year...it was great bike. I found the frame worked well with the older 100-130 u-turn Revs. I did find the BB low which resulted in a far few pedal strikes though.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Scottlacey, prefer the look of the Malt but that cock knobster looks a nice bike too. Very stealthy.
@ nukeproof, you're sooo right, BB is very low on superlight. Lots of pedal strikes.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Wow Scott, thats a lovely colour. Superlights are great.

xcstu.
Isn't that a rather extreme height difference, saddle to bar?
How long is the seat post? Or more to the point, how much seat post is inside the frame?Posted 2 years ago #
