My son's Giant™. It is about 987% aluminum. so it must be light. It has a shock that works and two empty tires. Rumour has it that it came from Wal-Mart. No wonder it has empty tires ... and loose bits, like the crank and the headset. Otherwise it looks pretty fair. It will need a bit of adjustment here and there. I have to hand over my commuter next time I see him and we have a swap for the summer.
Now, I need some one to teach me how and where to ride it ... I hear that there are trails at waterdog lake.

Awesome, a new dirt bike! Looks like you'll be having a fun summer.
Fat Tire Paradise, perhaps?
waterdog is great! and you can't get too lost out there either.
you'll have lots of fun on it.
WalMart doesn't sell Giants (to my knowledge anyway). I don't think Giant would allow their products there. Looks like a trustworthy mount!
According to my son it was Target. ... and it was about a hundred bucks new.
The Giant site classifies this as a "lifestyle" (what ever that means), and it looks like todaysa version would be under $500. At any rate -- it handles the city bumbs just dandy and reminds my of a mountain bike.
I am going to go test it out, now that it has real pedals and is a bit better dialed in.
Maybe at waterdog, where I used to play and swing on the rope swing into the lake, and smoke ... with those crazy girls in shorts and a volkswagen, after school, and me with those crutches for 12 weeks ... and turning off the wayback machine first ...
It's ready to roll so tomorrow I will take it to work.
