HEY GUYS IM READING YOUR COMMENTS AND THANK YOU FOR ALL UR IMPUT AND I CAN SEE WHY U ARE QUESTIONING MY STATEMENT SAYING IM A BEGGINER! WELL TO LET EVERYONE KNOW I AM A BEGGINER, IM A VERY COMPETETIVE PERSON AND I DONT LIKE TO BE LEFT IN THE DUST THAT IS WHY IM GOING ALL OUT FOR MY FIRST EVER MTB! I ACTUALLY JUST ORDERED THE GIANT AT MY LOCAL BIKE SHOP "BIKES DIRECT". THEY GAVE ME A GREAT DEAL AND LIFE TIME TUNE UP’S ON THE BIKE , COULD NOT PASS THAT UP! OUT THE DOOR FOR THE 2010 GIANT XTC 29ER 2 I PAID 1185.05…NEVER BOUGHT A MTB BEFOR BUT EVERYWHERE ELSE THEY WERE ABOVE 1300.00. HOPEFULLY I GOT A GOOD DEAL AND REMEMBER LIFE TIME TUNE UPS! HIT ME BACK AND LET ME KNOW WHAT U GUYS THINK AND MAYBE SOME ADVICE FOR A TRUE BEGGINER!
THANKS TKM
