Newbie needs advice!

Hi! This is my first post so go easy on me! I've just bought a Santa Cruz Tazmon on fleabay and to be honest, it's a bit of a shed Does anyone have the spec for what parts should be on this bike? It's got an 'Apollo' saddle on so i doubt if much of it is original! Any help on getting it up and running smoothly would be greatly appreciated

Looks like most of the bits are there xt r mech and are those white ind cranks?

 

[torino74]

Lol.The stem does goes on forever! Yeah, the cranks are White Industries (Made in Japan) and the brakes and gears are Shimano XT. The dampner spring isn't original. I did get the Riise Genesis Damper with it but the seller says it needs fixing? Unsure of what the wheels are? The front has a Shimano XTR Hub and i can make out Evo 2 Mach 1 on the rim? The back wheel has a Deore XT Hub and can just make out the word 'BOX' on the rim?

You need to tie down what year it is first. It's possible that the Judy SL is original, as they used to come with them on the top of the range model. The Judy is a 96, so it's possible that this could be the spec list:

Thanks for that! It's a '96 judging by the stamp on the bottom bracket? Anybody know of a good replacement for the rear shock?

Anybody know of a good replacement for the rear shock?

Why don't you ask Risse if they can service the original shock?

 

[torino74]

I'll look into that Anthony. Thanks. I was hoping for a quick fix though!
