That is a wonderful bike. I’ve ridden one several times. If in good shape is well worth the money. I still ride a 26 inch bike that I built in 07. I also ride an old 29er and sure, it excels where everyone says larger tires should, but honestly, I’m not that finely tuned. I just like to ride. A good 26er should provide you with years of good riding. Santa Cruz has never made a bad bike
