Santa Cruz Virtual Parking Lot Sale

Santa Cruz Bicycles

I'm a huge SCB fanboy, and thought I'd share this from their blog. Some really good deals, probably not as good as parking lot sales of the past, but still this is open to everyone in the states. Wish I was in the market for a LTc ($1450/1500) or they had a NomadC with an air shock (RC4 $1590). Other notables: TRc for $1500, Butcher $675, Heckler $550. Get 'em while they last!

Wish I was a few inches taller, that is a deal on a xl tallboy al frame for $900!

I've been lusting after a TRc for a while but just couldn't pony up full $$ for one. Scooped one at the VPLS for $1500 and stacked on a Chameleon frame for another $350. Amazing deals with full warranty and Kashima shocks!

[Shark]

wow....don't need one, but those are smokin deals....so tempting....walk away

[bog]

I didn't need one either but it slots in so nicely between my TallboyC and my SB-66!

Is the superlight 3.2 a 29er frame? Pardon my noobness.

[bog]

Definitely not. All of the models are sort of last year's so they're clearing them out for various reasons:

* Butcher, Nickel - discontinued
* Nomad, TRc, LTc, XCc - QR rear (now 142 rear)
* Others likely have older decals or colors.

Thanks for the heads up. Smoking deal on the Blur LTc and TRc. I picked up a TRc for a 650B conversion!

Thanks! Ordered a Heckler.

^ What size and which one?

I've picked up a Heckler with a Float CTD Evolution shock in L black.

This will be a replacement frame for the aging Kona Stinky that sees All-Mountain duties and has been overbuilt like a tank since day one.

The tallboy is tempting, and XL would fit me. Does it use a standard threaded bottom bracket? Is the head tube tapered?

Yes and yes. Go for it.

Tallboy on the way for me too. First Santa Cruz and first 29er. Funny, I think I ordered before you but black and white colors were showing out of stock so I went with the blue.

[XNiner]

I was one day away from ordering a Superlight 29er. I have been on a Niner EMD for the last year, but have really wanted a Santa Cruz for about the last 15+ years. Ever since the original Heckler!

I wish I would have waited another month before ordering my Butcher...

We are out of stock on your order in Black, I am sorry. Even though you received a confirmation, there is no stock of black left..

[pwu_1]

^ ouch. That sucks eurospek. You placed your order last night? When did you get the e-mail?

[schristie11]

Ha ha I was just about to post this, because I had a related thread in the santa cruz forum on this topic.

I am trying to order a Nickel medium size before they sell out totally,
but my bank is having an issue with my card.
I have money but no card and the website only accepts cards.
Any ideas?

^ ouch. That sucks eurospek. You placed your order last night? When did you get the e-mail?

Yup, last night.

Email received about an hour ago.

And I called asap in the morning around 10 am local time in Cali to confirm my order, that it went through, and that I wouldn't get stiffed without a frame cause I knew that was going to happen. The lady said to direct any VPLS questions to the email on the VPLS page and yet she's the one that wrote to me about it being out of stock.

I have a feeling I won't be the only one without a frame, they need to update their inventory in real time.

I was offered a raw Heckler (but I hate that finish) and was told to call immediately to confirm. I keep trying SC but no one is picking up. I'm trying to get anything but raw lol.

[crrimson]

I think this is already dead what a bummer
edit: maybe not, just couldn't view the bikes for a bit there.

[rossluzz]

I had a black color Tallboy in my shopping car, after I finished the registration and was about to check out it showed out of stock and wouldn't let me order it. So I ended up with the blue, which will be fine with me.
