Just scoping out to see what this might be worth now. For the right price I am willing to sell her. Cost me over £3500 when I bought it new 2 years ago. Santa Cruz Butcher R AM build. Frame: Manipulated aluminum tubes, tapered head tube, six inch travel, APP single-pivot suspension Shimano XT/Deore three by nine drivetrain Fork - Fox Float 32 RL OB 150 Shock - Fox RP32 (recently serviced by Mojo) this was the best spec money could buy on this frame at the time of purchase. Upgrades from original build Bars - RaceFace Atlas BB - brand new saint Saddle - Nukeproof Many other upgrades and component replacements over the years. Its been fully stripped down and rebuilt each winter with fresh bearings each time (Lifetime warranty on them so why not!). Youll struggle to find a 150mm bike thatll match this for strength and durability. Anything you throw at it will be soaked up and rolled over, perfect for UK riding. Some great reviews on Bike Radar and Pink Bike, very similar to the popular Nomad. Only looking to sell as I have a house to refurbish, no money in my wallet and this beauty is sitting gathering dust. Pink Bikes review summary Santa Cruzs Butcher is a keeper. It has gobs of handling in reserve, with which a rider can use on trail to deal with most unknown situations as they appear. The bike climbs like goat, descends with conviction, and is easy to manage when pushed to its limits - and the Butcher is as capable under a rider who executes every move with precision, as it is for someone who has more luck and courage than skill. At its core, the Butcher is a beautifully handling all-mountain chassis with a top-drawer suspension system, and it is built like the proverbial brick outhouse. The frame should easily outlast its OEM components and when it does, it will be worthy of any elite-level upgrade. As tested, the Santa Cruz Butcher is an impressive technical trailbike that could put in a good performance at any bike park. Add a dropper post, a more capable fork and a two-by-ten drivetrain, and it would be outstanding. - RC If anyone is interested drop me a message or comment here and Ill get some more upto date pics and a full spec list. Thanks
