Picked up this 2012 Giant XTC 29er today. I'm new to mountain biking and have been keeping an eye on eBay and gumtree for something to start out on. I think I got a pretty good deal as the bike looks like it has been barely ridden. The only marks I can find on it are 2 tiny scratches on one crank.

Bike came with:

- Fox float 32 forks
- X9 crankset 2x10
- X9 shifters
- X9 fd
- XO rd
- Elixr r brakes (I have read some pretty bad reviews on these)
- 180/160mm icetech rotors
- stans crest ztr rims (racing ralph/hans dampf)
- Thompson elite seat post
- Easton ec70 Carbon bars
- Easton haven stem

Also came with original seat post, bars, wheels with upgraded rotors (ground control? / X King tyres) and a extra set of practically new racing ralphs.

Looks like a nice little bike.

You do seem to have a lot of seat post hanging out though, how much is left in the frame? I think Thomson mark their posts with 8cm minimum insertion, some frame manufacturers specify more is required. Better check there is enough in there or the flex can crack the frame at the top tube/seat post junction.

Happy riding!
