I hear that some peices of a Giant Iguana come apart easy and that the bike cant handle rally rough riding. If someoen has this bike and has an opinion please reply.

It's a perfectly competent mountain bike, but only if it's
built correctly. Where's your source? What fell
off/broke/died on the bike? Details, please.

In a similar thread, I bent a frame... a Dyno to be exact.
It folded all the way over 180 degrees so that the front
wheel was next to the rear wheel. They must be weak because
it didn't survive the five stories I dropped the bike
perpendicularly onto a rail.

Don't believe all you hear unless you hear reasons why. Even
when you hear reasons why, don't believe them.

Aw, thanks, It was a person who lived around where I live and he got a 2004 giant Iguana and said he likes rough riding and just the other day he said he bent something like the crank. HE also said in general that it wasnt tough enough for him because he does jumps and dropp offs. Im getting the Iguana for a good trail/mountain bike thats affordible and not a bike to beat. Thanks for the reply and I agree.

Rally riding isn't all that rough.
