2000 Giant XtC DS2
Full suspension cross country racer, completely rebuilt from scratch with 1×9 drivetrain and top of the line modern components. This bike weights only 26 lbs and rides like a dream.
Cyril and I restored this dream machine for his brother. Starting with an awesome alloy frame in “Race Yellow / Manitou Red” colors. Every component of this bike was meticulously examined, repaired, repainted, or replaced high-end restored or new components. It took several months to find the proper components and bring this bike on the road again. See this bike’s info on BikePedia.com and this bike’s review on MTBR.com. Restoration photos are available here.
