Its a joy to ride with smooth gears, a comfy seat and tough enough for mild trails.

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 19y 1m 9d Posted 26/03/07 03:18 AM Share Posted 26/03/07 03:18 AM I got myself a 'Giant' Alias, prob worth a little more than what your looking to spend, but at the $500 odd dollar mark you can get yourself a Giant Rincon. Found comparitive from Giant to Trek, that the Giant range came with more features such as disc brakes, and bigger forks at the front. Ive bashed mine round on some fairly harsh trails and let me say the bike holds up a lot better than I do Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33602-mountain-bikes/#findComment-513649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
