I'm selling my palomino soon after deducing that it wasnt designed for everything I wanna do (freeride, hucking, with trails on the side). A guy at my school is selling a rebuilt Giant AC, and it sounds like a pretty damn good deal to me at 1250, since I'd sell my bike for about that and really wouldn't lose much at all. Anyways just wanted to see what you all thought about this, and how Giant is with frame warranties. If someone has some experience with the AC frame I'd love to hear about it. Thanks! Here's the bike he described to me:
This is a Giant AC, been completely rebuilt for supreme hucking ability, original AC frame with lower headset insert with FSA PIG lower instead of integrated, Junior T 7" front, has hight weight fork oil for increased dampening and has won't bottom out, Onyx front hub, rhyno lite front rim, straight gauge DB spokes, michelin tires, Thomson DH stem, Azonic PDW double wall handlebar, LX 9spd shifter, Hayes HFX 8"rotor disc brakes, Thomson elite seatpost, Azoinc DH seat, Race Face BB and Truvativ Hussefelt cranks, Deore R Hub, Alex Supra-BH rim, DT swiss 14 gauge spokes all around, XT R derail, will include LX front derail and shifter, Bike was ridden for about 1 season then borrowed BB and cranks for other urban bike, sold that bike built this one back up with BB and cranks, and have be unable to ride it due to previously sustained shoulder injury while skiing, bike would retail for at least $4000, I work in a bike shop so has purchased parts discounted and received shwag and have personally maintained the bike, and completely rebuil the bearing and bushings, hubs and headset, its in awesome running condition.
