Mountain Bikes From the Past 7 Years That We'd Still Happily Ride
The 2018 Thunderbolt BC Edition was my dream bike at the time, and it’s still something I’d love to one day own!
Also the 2016–18 Maiden was the best park bike I’ve ever ridden, and Rocky needs to bring it back with the exact same geo and kinematics

Jun 14, 2026Giant Trance X 29 size L frameset
$1000 CADSelling my 2022 Giant Trance X 29 frameset here, as I swapped most of its parts onto a new Chromag hardtail frame-up build over the winter. It’s been a solid bike for the time I’ve owned it, and hoping it won’t be my last Trance (this was my 2nd, after a 2019 27.5”)
This size Large frame is ideal for riders between 5’10” to 6’2”, and it is made from Giant’s Aluxx SL-grade aluminum
There are some scratches on the downtube (see photo) from being moved and bumped around in the garage, along with a few bails over the years, but no dents or cracks, and is still something I would continue to ride if not for budget and storage limitations
Frame geo/original build specs and other info can be found on Giant’s website here: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/ca/trance-x-29-1-2022
- Includes Fox DPS Performance shock, Giant headset for tapered forks (with used crown race), Shimano XT BB for 24mm crank spindles, bolt-on seatpost clamp, and rear axle
- Internal dropper and rear shift cable housing pre-routed, and there is a foam sleeve inside the frame to keep your rear brake hose quiet
*Fox DPS shock has probably less than 2 hours of riding time on it, just for the first few test rides until my preferred shock arrived
I also have a few additional components I’d be happy to bundle with the frame:
- Fox Float X Factory shock — $350 (or swap with DPS for $250)
- RaceFace Turbine R35 29” wheelset — $500
*RaceFace Vault hubs, 6-bolt rotor mounting, no freehub included (you will need to source your own). Rims taped for tubeless with valves installed
***Local pickup and cash only***
For any mainlanders who may be interested, I am willing to drive down and meet at one of the ferry terminals in Nanaimo
Feel free to message if you have any questions :)

Apr 3, 2026Fox 34 air spring top cap + spacers & socket
$50 CADThis air spring top cap assembly and spacers came stock on a 2021 Fox 34 Factory, which I replaced with an MRP ramp control cartridge
Included is the top cap assembly with dust cover, 3x volume tokens, and a Fox 26mm socket to install/remove the assembly
The socket is flush/has no chamfer, perfect for the low profile head of the assembly, and has a 3/8” drive for ratchets
Please do your due diligence to ensure this is compatible with the model/year of your fork

Apr 3, 2026Chromag Overture saddle
$50 CADBought this for a dirt jumper project a few years back, but that ended up a bit short-lived. Kept it in case I ever found another use for it, but that no longer seems likely, and it’s time to find it a new home
It’s only seen maybe 2 or 3 days of riding sessions, and was never crashed with. Saddle surface is in mint condition, with a few signs of use on the rails and bottom plastic shell
***Local pickup and cash only***
Feel free to message if you have any questions :)
Also, I would be willing to trade for either a black or grey diamond-stitch Chromag Overture LTD
