This is definitely the coolest bike I’ve owned- be prepared to talk if you stop on the trail. The frame is a size Medium, made of 4130 steel and fillet-brazed by Cjell Monē (“money”); this was the last v2 he made (very similar to v3). I’ve got it setup as a 27.5+ single speed, but you can run it with gears and stuff a 29er in there (you’ll need a different fork, though). The telescopic dropouts are genius- they make for a HUGE range of adjustment; if you are used to sliding dropouts, you’ll love these. Also, it’s got a high BB, so pedal strikes are rare.

It’s in excellent condition- there are a few scratches in the clearcoat, but I couldn’t find anything down to the metal. It’s a solid build; the Pike is older, but it was a backup fork and rarely used. Many of the parts were pretty expensive (only the Shimano cranks were kinda cheap).

I’m selling it because I am facing the reality of getting older and not riding much. I put the tires on last season and only rode it one time. I’m selling another bike, too… thinning the herd.
Search the web for reviews- everyone loves this thing, and rightly so. If you want cool hardtail that looks like a giant BMX bike (and no one will have anything like it), this is your whip.
Price = $2k

Here’s the build (hit me up if I forgot anything):


Fork – 140mm Rockshox Pike RCT3
Wheels – Ibis 742 Carbon rims with Industry 9 hubs
Brakes – Magura MT8 with 203/200 rotors (because, why not) and Wolftooth lockrings
Bars - Monē Meal Replacement Bars (starting to oxidize)
Dropper – 150mm One Up with gold Wolftooth lever
Seat – Chromag Trailmaster (kinda rare)
Tires – both are Schwalbe 27.5 x 2.60 and only have one ride (Nobby Nic & Rock Razor)
Cranks – Deore XT 165mm
Chain – Connex gold with Molten Speed wax (no oil!)
Bottom Bracket – Saint gold
Headset – White Industries gold
Clamp – Sunday Freeze
Grips – Oury
Top Cap – Monē Brass
No pedals

I’m in Rockaway Beach (NYC) but can ship on your dime.

Cjell (the guy who built the frame) saw my ad on FB and offered to buy this back... how crazy is that? I said I'm trying to sell it locally first, but at least I've got that option if I want to ship.
If I did not have my Salsa Fargo, I would be all over this.
