After going back and forth on it for a year, Kristen has decided to sell her very-upgraded 2014 Trek Cali Carbon SLX. It’s an outstanding bike, perfect for Michigan XC single track, but it’s just not being ridden, so it’s time to let it go. It was originally listed for sale in 2016, but after pulling it off the market and fitting a carbon fiber fork and 34t chainring it was only ridden a handful of times, so now it’s back up for sale.
This bike is a 2014 Trek Cali Carbon SLX (details on Trek’s site here), but it’s had quite a few upgrades from when she originally bought it new. Size small, the bike has been fitted with a 170mm SRAM X9 (direct mount capable) crank, converted to a SRAM 1×11 setup (34t x 10-42) w/XD driver, and now sports the matching Trek carbon fiber fork. It comes with the original Fox suspension fork, with crown races installed on both, so swapping between forks takes just a couple of minutes with 4mm and 5mm hex wrenches.
