giant atx 980 MTB

Hi all.

A friend at work is selling his Giant ATX 980 with dual suspension, XT + XTR
parts in GC for $500. He says its a few years old.

I cant seem to find it on the internet, all the ones I see are newer or with
single suspension.

Is this a decent deal if it is in fact in GC?


ThankS!

Snap! If it really is in good condition, go for it... Just put a coupl
of hundred aside to perhaps get the suspension and other parts service
just to make sure it's running right... Or even better, get a LBS t
give it the once over before you buy it and let you know what might b
up for replacement...

Otherwise, the ATX is a good, stable (if not overly exotic) bike, an
XT(R) bits are virtually as good as it gets

It will be at least 5 years old. They were a high end bike & XT &/o
XTR still is good stuff.
As with all secondhand MTB's, previous use is the key. If it hasn'
been used much & not owned by a teenager, it should be an OK buy. Ru
away if teenage owner raced downhill on it.
Check over the frame for any damage, like cracks, dents, deep scratche
etc. Check the suspension bushes & pivots for any slop, wobble etc
Check the chain & cassette & chainrings for wear.

Last, but most important, only buy it if it's the right size for you
