I’ve been going mountain biking lately and I’ve been feeling the need to get a full suspension MTB. So, I found this Santa Cruz Blur over at bikeworks located in Columbia City, Seattle and it turned out to be my size. So I sent it and restored it from the ground up.
I took this unrideable bike under my wings and refurbished it with all the much needed upgrades.
If you are in the middle of a bike build or planning on building one, do share it with me on my instagram!
I’m also accepting donations through Venmo because everything does come out of my own pocket and it takes weeks out of my personal schedule to make these videos, thank you!!

Nha man, literally yesterday on Reddit someone talked about your channel I was like: I really miss his content, hope he comes out with a new build soon! And there you are! Awesome work as usual mate

@CowboyTomi 2 года назад

Haha wow thats crazy! thank you for all your patience!! i’ve been so busy with other nonsense!

@radioactivepotato2068 11 месяцев назад

A hundred bucks lol. I break bikes for parts for a living. Once I'd stripped it down, cleaned all the parts, taken my pics, and written some concise listings with worldwide shipping on my well established ebay account, I'd make.. Well, I wont say, you people wont believe me, but the profit percentage is healthier than just about any business you could name. This is why I do this. Nice job BTW 🤙

Great video showing the entire process and great mods so far. Personally I would have invested in getting it professionally painted from a shop.

Have you ridden from Hyak west through the tunnel to North Bend/Rattlesnake Lake. fun ride, great views.

@CowboyTomi Год назад

I love that ride! We bikepack that trail every year during summer and end up at Lake Easton. the tunnel is definitely my favorite part!

@ironvic217 Год назад

Bro I just bought the same bike and just started to restore it. Glad I came across your video. Excellent build up you made 🙏 Question, I'm thinking about making mine a mullet. What size fork would you recommend. Thanx for the inspiration and ideas 💡 🙌

@CowboyTomi Год назад

Amazing! I would go with a fork for a 27.5 wheel. it’ll probably be a 100-120mm travel, which is fine.

@ironvic217 Год назад

Thank you, I was thinking somewhat along the same line but im fairly new into the mountain bike scene so I rather ask a professional before I make a decision lol. Going to follow you on Instagram and later on show you when i finish the bike. Thanx again and have a good week bro! 🙌

@camilocruz3707 Год назад

I would have kept the XT hydraulic brakes, they're excellent.

@mattspencer4766 Год назад

I have an 2007 I was wanting to rebuild and I found your video, awesome! I love it. Did you need to change the length of bottom bracket ?

@CowboyTomi Год назад

Thank you! I didnt need to change the bottom bracket either!

@kevinwilliams4403 2 года назад

Hey love your projects and from what I can see love your CRX even more!! Do you have any video reviews of it? I have a 91 civic also in Tahitian green pearl ✌️

@CowboyTomi 2 года назад

haha! The CRX belongs to my brother and its currently not running 😒. I do however drive a 91 civic hatch back also!! all bone stock, maybe I'll do a video on that too.

@CowboyTomi 2 года назад

Yeah, we probably did cross paths haha! Stop by again and maybe we’ll catch each other!

@markusilomaki8922 2 года назад

You should put a shimano alfine hub gears and a belt drive on the bike. Would be amazingly unique!

@CowboyTomi 2 года назад

That’d definitely be very unique especially on a full suspension from 2008 🤣

@markusilomaki8922 2 года назад

@HUKIT. Год назад

I’ve never rattle canned a bike before so on video they always look good but how well do they look in person up close?

@solarheat9016 Год назад

The pandemic bike bubble is still in force where I live. Prices are almost more than when new. It is hard to find deals.

@valenting1768 Год назад

Nice build! How is the chainline when in the largest cog, any problems there? was expecting you to put the chainring in the middle position of the crank .. but perhaps frame clearance is an issue there.

@CowboyTomi Год назад

Thanks! Great question, I didn’t show it but the chain line definitely needed to be adjusted so I ended up moving the chainring into the middle ring mounts and worked out perfect. As for the tire clearance, I ended up changing the tires three times due to rubbing on the cross brace in the rear!

@andtons 2 года назад

aye tomi love the builds if you are every near Freemont you should come by EVO Seattle; I work over in the bike sales department and would love to try and get you connected with some of our bicycle related community outreach programs here in Seattle :) Peace and love my brother - Anders

@JohnPilling25 2 года назад

100$! Wow, The parts on that bike are worth way more than that - dt swiss rims, xt cranks etc... Nice colour scheme. I used the same microshift 1x10 on my rebuilds. Quick Question.. are you still doing the handlebar bags? I was going to buy one when I got back to the US but it seems yu don't have any.

@CowboyTomi 2 года назад

Yeah I know! Crazy, shout out to Bikeworks! Yes we are currently out of handlebar bags, gonna make another run of lunch box shaped ones soon!

how do you clean the small components like washers, bolts, etc.?

@Brian-zb5ct 8 месяцев назад

First off, that’s the worst paint job I ever seen, second you take off the XT group set to put that micro shift garbage, not to mention trading the Cane Creek headset for the Origin 8. SMH
