Hi! For sale is a 2012 Giant Trance X3 that is (almost) fully custom. I am a former professional bike mechanic of six years and I've owned and maintained this bike from new. Virtually everything has been upgraded- I think the only things stock other than the frame are the cranks and rear shock. The frame is free from dents and has only minor scratches and paint chips... It's in remarkably good condition for its age. Specs are as follows:
-2012 Giant Trance X3 frame in size large
-2016 Rock Shox Pike RCT3 140mm with Charger damper
-Fox Float R rear shock, 130mm
-Chris King gold hubs hand laced to Stan's Arch EX rims, 32h. Set up tubeless.
-Shimano XT 1x10spd shifter, derailleur, chain, and cassette 11-36T. The chain and cassette are virtually new and have only two rides on them.
-Shimano Deore cranks, 175mm
-Race Face Narrow Wide chainring, 34T
-Shimano SLX brakes with 180mm and 160mm RT86 rotors. 90% pad life, brakes freshly bled
-Tires: Specialized Slaughter Grid 2.3 (65% tread), Maxxis Aggressor EXO 2.3 (90% tread), Maxxis Minion DHF 3C 2.5 (80% tread)
-Pedals are your choice of Gold Specialized Low Pro Mag pedals or Rock Bros composite pedals
-Prologo Kappa Pas Pro STN saddle, 143mm
-Giant Contact Switch SL 150mm dropper post
-Bontrager Rythm Pro carbon handlebars, 750mm
-Giant Stem, 80mm
-Fit slide on grips

Pros:
-Wheels are round and true, no dents in rims, hubs have just been serviced and the bearings are smooth
-Brakes were bled two rides ago
-Rear shock was serviced two rides ago and fork was serviced last season
-All suspension bearings are smooth, bike is free from creaks and noise
-Stanchions on suspension are entirely free from scratches
-Brand new chain and cassette
-Spare tire, quicklink, and derailleur hanger included

Cons:
-Seatpost can be slow to return, but it does function most of the time. A new air cartridge is $60 and would bring it right back.
-26" wheels (maybe not even a con? A great entry bike or for shorter riders)

Reasonable offers welcome, but please don't lowball. Thanks for looking!
