  • I only paid $170 for this 2006 Giant STP SS dirt jumper! The previous owner said everything works 100% on this bike so in this video we go over the bike, upgrade a few things with parts laying around the workshop and see if it was worth the $170 price tag (spoiler alert - I think it was). Do you think it was worth it? 🤔

    This just shows how much life is left in older bikes. The bike industry is constantly trying to sell us on sooooo many incremental changes/upgrades that we don't need each year (in turn raising prices more and more). Ride that bike, Nick. Great find!

      You’re so right! I went into this totally convinced I’d have to upgrade a bunch of stuff since a lot of the parts are the “older standard” but tbh the bike feels absolutely awesome! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, Todd! 🤙

    I just got the 2010 version, looks sick in the teal color & has better spec (DJ 2). Seems to be working ok, test ride was super fun, feels light. Some scratches on it but that's to be expected, it seems to have been somewhat neglected but nothing that too bad on first sight. Can't wait to work & ride on it :) Your model also looks interesting!

      Dope! One of the best parts of getting a used bike is tinkering and upgrading! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! 👍 Hope you enjoy your new DJ!

    $170 is a killer deal, I was looking for one of these a little while ago and couldn’t find anything near that price. Ended with a Norco ryde for $350

    • @NickandKatieMTB
      @NickandKatieMTB  Год назад

      Right! I’ve been scrolling fb marketplace for months and haven’t seen one this low. Figured there had to be some catch with it but was stoked to find it was pretty solid. The Norco Ryde looks like a solid bike! How are you liking it?

      @@jeffbenson7712 gotcha man! Yeah I could imagine any DJ would be a little cramped at 6’4. You’d probably need a 27.5 hardtail with dirt jump geo!
