Not my SV, but rather my Giant XtC Team Edition, hard tail Mountain bike. She has to go on Doctors orders, which does make me a bit sad, but this is a positive step. I gave first refusal to my Brother in Law and then comes you lot, my darling SV forum. If none of you are interested, then I shall be hitting E-Bay soon and hoping for the best.
So here goes. Giant XtC Team Edition Medium frame in team colours. I did think of putting this in the For Sale section, but it stated that non-Motorcycle stuff got put in here. If this is not the case, then do please move it for me.
Sorry for the old pic, she is still shiny but has Hopes front and rear. a Real Suntour XC pro MD chainset with 20-32-42 rings (which took some searching for and is not this current rubbish branded Suntour). Marzocchi Bomber forks and Woodman triple bearing headset. Carbon bars and Titanium seat pin. XT Mechs and Old School DX Thumbies running an 8 speed cluster. Handbuilt, Mavic rims on Shimano and Hope Hubs with DT db spokes. Hyperbolt bolt kit. Time pedals and shoes if you want them too.
Viewing is available and test rides are recommended. She is blisteringly fast and blissfully smooth. Technically, she is a blokes frame, but I have adapted her with a girly saddle that is as wide as a Harley's.
I have thought of myself as a Mountain Biker since I first caught the bug in 1990, in that time I have raced, toured and built my own bikes. My custom frame is now art on my bedroom wall, but the mountain bike langusishes, loved but not ridden in the hallway.
Funds given in exchange for this bike will be invested in Sylvie, my precious SV. A new exhaust for that deep throaty growl is a must, ever since I heard a lovely one at the Bulldog Bash.
