Bought a new Giant Trance X2 29er from the Path Bike store in Trabuco Canyon. Test rode it, love it. Had the store upgrade the cassette to Eagle NX, Eagle X01 chain, and Eagle GX shifter and derailleur. Awesome MTB for XC and trail. Looking forward to upgrading the front suspension and maybe later the brakes. Great all around bike to build out, or just ride out of the box and have fun. Great guys at the Path Bike stores. Highly recommend talking and shopping with them.
