1997 Giant ATX 860 Mountain bike :D I've been gradually replacing old parts with more refined new ones and finally the build is pretty much complete. :D
The bike has a full Deore LX groupset (including a brand new crankset), with a new deore front d. with Rockshox Duke SL forks (which recently replaced the original Jetts). I wanted to do all this to prove that you can still compete cheaply, thankfully it's not too much slower than my friend's 29er 8)

    The old one's are the best :D it does have a few too many scrapes on the frame though.
