    Talking My new bike!

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    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

    You don't like the color? I love it! That's why I have the Trek 7.2fx for my commuter, because it came in brown. Very pretty! Congrats.

    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!
