Nickel and Butcher at work from santa cruz bikes on Vimeo.

Some of you pedal mashers know I’m a big fan of the Single Pivot bikes made by Santa Cruz. I love the no fuss and how well it works in all situations. Santa Cruz Bikes has decided to merge the Single Pivot and their VPP bikes into this new APP pivot (as they are calling it). I’m not one to get technical with bike jargon but it looks really cool. They have videos explaining the APP further for you nerd types. The Nickel and the Butcher come out in June as Framesets and retail for $1350. Looks like daddy might have to buy himself a new rig.
