Oct 21, 2016Giant Trance 1 w/ upgrades *PRICE DROP****
$3000 CADGreat deal on a nearly new bike! Kashima suspension, perfect all mountain bike. Drivetrain is all stock, upgraded components include the following:
Bars: Chromag Fubars 780mm (alu)
Stem: Chromag Ranger 50mm
Saddle: Chromag Lynx DT
Tires: Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR combo (set up tubeless) Minimal wear on both, tons of tread left (see pics)
Fork: Stock Fox 34, extended from 140mm travel to 160mm (comes with air spring to convert back to 140mm if desired)
Pedals: Spank Oozy
This is an incredibly capable bike both up and down the mountain. Amazing Fox suspension, and extending the fork to 160mm makes this thing handle that much more without sacrificing climbing capability, as mentioned before, it does come with the stock air spring to convert back to stock 140 travel. With the fork extended, the bike is essentially a Trance SX, but with better specs and cheaper. This thing is rock solid, stiff, light, and ultimately just a fun bike to ride. It's in GREAT shape (9/10), a few scratches from regular riding, but you gotta look for them to see them. No big crashes, trail ridden almost exclusively (1 half day in the park). With under 40 hours of riding on this bike, it's virtually new. This bike would retail around $6000 with all the upgrades, so this is almost half price.

Aug 22, 2016Giant Trance X4 w/dropper! - PRICE DROP
$800 CADAmazing Giant Trance up for sale. This is the bike that got me into mountain biking and would suit someone in the same position perfectly. Great bike that does it all and doesn't break the bank. I just got a new bike, so this one has to go.
Marzocchi bomber fork - built to last
Giant rear shock - JUST rebuilt by Randy at RnR
Specialized Purgatory and Clutch tires - Near new, only a few rides on them
Reverb dropper post - Recently serviced (10 rides ago)
Specialized Enduro grips - Brand new
730mm bars and short stem added making this bike handle much better downhill
Bike was tuned up at the beginning of the season by Cyclepath. Checked over, bushings replaced, brakes bled, etc. This bad boy is ready to go!
$900 with the dropper post, $800 for the bike without.
Shoot me a message if you have any questions

The Impossible Bike: Carbon Built Here in the USA - Sea Otter 2016
@ilovedust: I quote: "No one, not even the Alchemy guys, is suggesting that all bikes made overseas are of the same quality. Nor are they saying that bikes made in the U.S. are of inherently higher quality than bikes built in Taiwan or China." .... yup ... might as well read "We're insisting our product is superior!" You took the time to comment, take the time to read.
