May 3, 2012Giant Yukon FX , size Large, SOLD
$450 USDHello Pinkbike, up for sale is a 2008 Giant Yukon FX Large, at half the price of a new, stock one, yet a lot better equipped. Frame and shock are all that remains of the original bike. Here we go, it has a RockShox Dart 2 fork(100mm), Bontrager King Earl crankset(currently with 2 rings plus bash, will come the 44t FSA big ring installed), Truvativ XR BB, Bontrager Rhythm wheekset(tubeless ready), Bontrager Jones ACX folding bead tires, Bontrager Inform RL seat(pretty light), Truvativ XR seatpost, Origin8 stem(100mm reach) and All Mtn. Sport bars(30ish inches), ODI Ruffian flanged lock-on grips(cut to make room for the shift levers), Hayes Stroker Ryde brakes with 6 inch tektro rotors, Shimano Deore XT front deraileur, Sram 9 speed rear deraileur(think XO, before XO was XO), Sram X7 shifters, Sram 9 speed chain and Wide range cassette, will come with a pair of Crank Brothers 50/50s and a set of Shimano clipless pedals as well(sorry, no cleats). Total weight is about 32ish pounds, so no featherweight XC machine.
So, it's pretty much a steal any way u look at it, considering a new 2012 Yukon FX will run u around $1000 or more after tax, and for that all u get is a nice frame/shock with a bunch of cut-rate components. To get a new Yukon FX to this level, you'd be easily spending at least another $700ish, so, this is quite a good deal. Some things to note, if u saw the brake levers and the shift levers, u will notice a pattern drilled into them, my friend did that when he owned the bike, it helps a bit with or without gloves. Like stated above, it will come with an FSA 44t ring instead of the bash guard u see. It is a used bike, so it is not pristine, there are scuffs from a bike rack on the top tube, and scuffs in various places from cable rub, The shock holds air excellently for being a Giant OE air shock. Overall, it is in awesome condition, and has many years of life left in it, and would be perfect for some who wants a full suspension trail bike at a steal of a price, or someone looking to upgrade from their hard-tail and take their riding to a new level.
Price is negotiable, however, no lowballers please. I may take trades if u happen to have a nice "Freeride" oriented hard-tail frame(26 INCH)(135 x9 rear) that could potentially take up to a 5 inch travel fork in MEDIUM, or possibly a nice 5-6inch travel fork with a 20mm thru-axle a 1 1/8inch straight steerer with most of the steerer tube left(let me know what length it is and I'll see if it'll work). Anything else u mat want to trade, just let me know, worst i can say is no. One thing i am kind of solid on is that if u wanna trade, I would have to meet u locally, or not too terribly far away. Let me know where u are and we'd go from there. On to shipping, (within the lower 48 states) is free, I prefer Paypal. Other than that, if u have any questions, just ask, and I'll get back to u as soon as possible, Thanks for looking.

Giant Reign 0 - Previewed
Technically, the STP is a bit of a trials frame, just look at what Jeff Lenosky(if i spelled his last name right) can do with an STP, so I'd say they have every aspect of mtn biking covered
