I've been looking at this bike since you put it up for sale. I have been toying around with the idea of getting back into moto, but have been busy with MTB and road cycling. I may be moving back up to the NW, where moto would have more of my interest.
I saw the thread a while back where you were contemplating a trade for a MTB to get back into shape. I would be willing to entertain a direct trade for my 2020 Trek Top Fuel 9.9. The frame is 1 month old and has about 100 miles on it, and the top of the line components. It's a size 18.5, or M/L and fits someone 5'8-5'11.5 according to the site. I am 6'1 and prefer a smaller bike.
The components come off my 2018 Top Fuel 9.9, and have about 1,000 miles on them. All components are inspected regularly and things replaced well before needed. I am a freak as you seem to be.
Shimano XTR 1x11 drivetrain, XTR brakes, carbon bars, dropper post, RS1 fork, extremely lightweight and durable DT Swiss XMC 1200 wheels, brand new KMC ti-ntride coated chain...all serviced and ready to ride. Brand new brake pads and rotors front and rear. I added 1800mm rotors for the XTR brakes so the braking is extremely powerful. Brand new Maxxis tires, sealant...bike maintained every ride and professionally torn down every 5-8 rides (once a month).
This bike is the fastest climbing bike that is actually capable of descending quickly and safely. 115mm rear travel, 100mm front (with capability of forks being lengthened to 120mm, I just like the geo as 100mm) and weighs in at 24.5 pounds with XTR pedals, cages and sealant
This bike isn't listed on Bicycle Blue Book because it's too new, but the 2019 model has a blue book value of about $5,400 right now. I would imagine the 2020 would be somewhere around $5,800 to $6k. Especially considering it's a redesign over 2019. The new frame is just as capable climbing, but is SO MUCH better in every way on the downhill.
If you're not interested in a trade, I may sell the bike and buy yours. I really want to get back into riding, but can't justify a $10k 450 right now.
I'm in OC, so it would be an easy transaction. Let me know!
