Yes, the Blur frame tubes are cut, welded, anodized/PC'ed and assembled in the USA. Now where the tubing came from, bb threads were cut, etc...who knows. It's all good though. Damn near impossible to get a made in the USA full bicycle though without going custom and fully rigid. Almost all suspension forks/shocks, handlebars, drivetrain components, tires etc are made overseas. Kinda makes were the frame is made a moot point.psOption3 said:I notice that the Santa Cruz Blur has a sticker on the seat tube that states: "Made in the USA". Is this entirely true?
wuzz up, new to the site, trying to figure this out, ever had the opportunity to ride UTAH??Kam said:last i head, the santa cruz frame (atleast the superlight, heckler and blur) are made by kinesis (?), somewhere in oregon. did you ever order of decide on the steel fs rig?
cheers!
Yes. The tranny is pretty steep, so the impact is pretty minimal. I'd stay away from anything over 3 foot to flat type drops for your Blur, but if the tranny is good, you could hit up to 8 or 10 feet I imagine depending on how much you weigh, and how smooth you are.psOption3 said:do you think a santa cruz blur could handle that drop?
