Wire Mesa and Thunder Mountain on the Bronson. Finally finished the build. Bought a new to me XT Bronson for 60% off from Cambria in 2025 and parted it out over time and shopped sales to get the exact setup I wanted. The only thing that's original is the frame. I have a problem.

After selling and parting out my old bike, a 2020 YT Jeffsy AL, parting out this bike (eBay mostly), and shopping discounts my total out of pocket for this bike is $2000.
This thing rips on Southern Utah chunk like The Whole Enchilada, Captain Ahab, Spinal Tap, Mag 7. Etc… Now I need a downcountry bike to compliment it for nothern Utah flow. Just need to figure out a way to convince the wife…

One clarification. The picture from Thunder Mountain is mid build so I still have the og stem, and dropper remote on there. I just thought the scenery was sick so I added it.
