2017 Giant XTC Advanced 2

Basically this bike with some different parts listed below.

I originally bought this bike from The Pro's Closet about a year and a half ago so not sure of it's history before then but when I received it it was in good condition. Absolutely rips XC trail. I never rode the original wheels on it more than a parking lot but they sound nice at least. If you get a nice set of carbon wheels/upgraded crankset on this like I used it comes in just over 21lbs. I put the original wheels, crankset, and seatpost back in place.

I'm selling it cause frankly I just don't ride it. I moved to a part of the country that just isn't friendly to hardtails like the front range of CO is so I find myself basically riding full-sus 100% of the time and this bike needs to be ridden.

Strava has me at just over 1300 miles on this. I can't remember ever wiping out on it super hard but it definitely has some nicks and scratches throughout.
The rear dropouts have this badass design to where you can turn this bike into a singlespeed VERY easily. I raced a few shorttrack races singlespeed with it and it was super fun.

It HAD some super nice Magura MT-8 brakes on it but some jerk clipped the cables and took the carbon fiber levers. Luckily I had one extra so the bike has one super nice carbon fiber magura mt-8 front disc brake and a slightly less nice, but still super capable, 4-piston magura mt-7 alloy lever and caliper on the rear.

- Specialized power saddle
- Almost new race face grips
- Almost new chain
- Almost new rear 2.25 maxxis ardent. Original front tire, will probably need to be replaced somewhat soon.
- If you want a 27.2 PNW external dropper I used for this ask and I'll throw it in for an extra $200.

- Nics and scratches all over
- The carbon seatpost slips occasionally because of the stupid d-wedge seatpost. I slathered it with carbon stick paste and it helps a lot but needs to be re-added I'd say every 200ish miles or so.
- Shifts pretty well but the SLX derailleur is sounded a little ragged. May need to be replaced or take it apart and give it some tlc.
- Needs a tubeless juice refill

Holler at me with any questions
Buyer pays shipping, I'll cover the paypal costs, buyer chooses level of insurance they want via bikeflights.
