edited May 2009 in MTB buying advice
My partner has seen a second hand bike in a local shop in North Wales. The frame size is perfect but we are not sure what it is or what year. It's a Giant,badged up with pink T Mobile stickers, composite frame, seat post and bars,XTR Dual Control shifters,XTR CABLE disc brakes not hydraulic, XTR hubs and wheels, XTR rear mech with ,I think a Race Face crank set, SID fork with a remote lockout. Ithink the shock might be a Monarch.
The price tag says it was £3000 new and they are after £1000.
Any ideas what it is,how old etc. Does it sound like a good thing. :?:
Cheers

    i go riding now and then with a guy who has one. he's had it since new (either 05 or 06) and hasn't had any problems to shout about. he rides every weekend without fail, to work and back on it a few times a week, has raced it, its even stood up to trail centres like afan (with care!).
    he's just replaced the forx (cant remember what he's go on there now) but that was to gain a bit extra travel, not do to breakage.

    Rockhopper Pro - XC and commuting
