Pinkbike Predictions: Who Could Win the XC World Cup Season Opener?
@elyari: Yeah, better calf engagement with the cleats farther forward. It doesn't work well for us mortals, but the pros' strength training allows them to make more efficient use of all of the muscles in their legs.

Patrol Releases Carbon Fiber Kids' Bike Range - Across the Pond Beaver
That 32 tooth chainring matched with 145mm cranks on the 20-inch bikes seems to be a serious oversight.

$2000 USD2016 Juliana Furtado (Santa Cruz 5010 clone). Teal Carbon C frame with custom build. 27.5" wheels, 130 mm rear and 140 mm front (at present).
This is a superb trail bike for the PNW. Light and nimble enough for occasional XC races and burly enough for occasional enduro races. Well maintained and never ridden harshly or abused. This build is forked-up with a RS Pike currently set to 140 mm (stock is 130 mm). You can adjust the spacers to get up to 160 mm in the front. Common practice is to set the fork to 150 mm for the "Brolo" build - half way between a SC 5010 and Bronson. It's had 3M frame tape on it since nearly new - there are only a few tiny scratches to the actual frame.

Frame: 2016 Medium Carbon C
Shock: Fox Performance Float Evol with rebound and 3-position compression
Fork: 2017 RockShox Pike RCT3 with Charger Damper
Seatpost: RockShox Reverb

$1200 USDBike is stock except for added reverb stealth dropper post (125mm). https://transitionbikes.com/Support_Archive_ByModel.cfm?ID=2016%20TransAM%2029
Currently setup geared, though I can provide a SS conversion kit as well. I have 30x18 and and 30x20 cogs.
Frame has been treated with frame saver since new.
Tires setup tubeless.
I raised the fork from 120mm to 140mm. I still have the spacers, so can lower it down for you if you like. Honestly, I think 130mm might be the sweet spot.
I can include the Shimano pedals and fender if you're interested.
This bike is super fun, quick, and agile. I'm selling because the hardtail is a little harsh on my bad back for the types of trails I'm on and my style of riding.
I would consider trading for a modern geo trail full suspension 29er (e.g. smuggler, process 111, etc.) - either complete bike or frame swap.
