Default Someone buy my bike

It is a 2001 Giant NRS XTC AIR

I can't ride it, so why shouldn't you?

It will be on ebay in a few weeks, but I would prefer to let it go to a good amb owner...

Medium frame. XTR. Hayes disc. UST. Pythons. Monkey lites. Time pedals.. faster than fast red. The
bike has that lovely feel of matte black love. If you run your tongue down the frame of this bike,
it grabs... but does not bite.

Do a one-handed nose-wheelie at the park while holding your hat in acquiescense. You will please the
ladies and the men.

Reality though... buy the bike. You will not be sorry.

It weighs like 23 pounds.

I paid 3000.00 for it.

Email me your deal, and be creative.

No pictures of it to help sell it?

I'm trying to get a picture of this dudes full-sus trike I saw up at Big Bear for you. I saw him
last year too, but his tweaked his design a little and it's pretty badass. Two foot pads to stand on
(no seat), two rear wheels that sit very close to each other and a Dorado or Boxxer up front. The
guy was launching off everything and that thing railed like a pair off skis in soft powder....he's a
crazy SOB!

I still have it, and it is going on e-bay next week as well. The Brisa is an awesome trials rig.
Heck, it is awesome to just look at while sipping a brewski and telling stories.

BTW, there is a pretty nice Cresent on ebay right now. It was up to 510.00 right now, reserve not
met, buy now for 800.00 That would be an ultra sweet rig as well.

would you get a seat that small, from a small child's bike?

Its a trials bike, you don't sit in trials.

You wouldn't mind me asking how much you're thinking of getting for it?

Not worth it. Its a ghetto bike. Dude posts the picture of the bike then says that it has different
components than what's in the picture.

Then why have a seat at all? yes, i know the answer, but logicaly, going by "you don't sit in
trials" it would stand to reason you don't need a seat at all. ;-)

Its there to prevent the bike frame from hitting your ass in case you fail to complete a move. You
can sit on it, but its not comfortable, they're just made of a thin layer of plastic and can break
if you put too much weight on them. Anyways, most trials frames don't come with saddles at all, the
seat tube is blocked off to prevent this, its for clearance issues.

20" wheeled bikes don't generally have a saddle. 26" wheeled bikes generally do. The seat is often
used as a pressure point for the side of the leg while doing some moves, as well as to sit on when
coasting to a trick area, or just hanging out wathcing others.

Some riders like one, some don't.

I will have several pictures of it up tomorrow I hope. I paid about 1600.00 for it. It is brand new.
I am willing to cut a great deal, but I am not quite sure what that is yet.
