Yay! This is my first mt bike. I just got it this past Saturday. It's an 06 Giant Pistol (lol). I didn't like the color, but I got a GREAT deal on it that I couldn't pass up.
I paid $400 for it, brand new, at the LBS.
Msrp $1,100.
Don't mind the dirty floor, we had just washed the bikes after a ride

Thank you all! I've only been able to ride her once so far since I got her last Saturday. I actually strained my back recently and I'm in pain so I can't ride
Sucks looking at her everyday and not being able to take her out! lol

I hope you get out and try her out soon! BTW: I like the color and markings, but if you don't it will all be DIRT brown after a ride anyway!

I LIKE that color! Now you're ready to put a proper amount of mud on it.

sweet deal, have fun riding. With the full suspension, you going to have lots of fun riding on it. I got my MTB this year, going off road was a totally different experience. Plus, riding on the trail and mountain ... we get much closer to the nature. Enjoy and Have fun out there. "more important, enjoy every moment of it".
