After my Santa Cruz Bronson 3A was stolen, I needed to find a replacement bike ASAP for my trip up to Washington. Luckily, Skagit Cycle in Burlington was just ~45mins away from where we are staying and had several Santa Cruz models in stock. I went to check out the 5010 and Hightower and as you can tell, ultimately ended up staying with 27.5" wheels and the closest geometry to the Bronson that I could. No disappointments!
