2016 Giant Trance 2 S.jpeg
I have purchased two new mountain bikes since 2020, which is when I last rode this bike.
So... cleaning out the shed pushed me to FINALLY make the decision to sell it.

Giant Trance 27.5 2 Bike - Size S
My Original Cost (2016) = $2,700
Last ridden in 2020 with a total of ~900 miles

Approximate values for bike in 'Good' condition according to Bicycle Bluebook
Trade-In Range = $309 - $318
Private Sale Range = $582 - $600
Asking $550
Personally, I'd rate it slightly better than 'Good'... the paint is still shiny (not that it matters) and tires new or nearly so & the saddle is new.
Tires are MAXXIS High Roller II, 27.5" x 2.30, Tubeless, with ~50 miles on front & 12 miles on the rear... it still has the rubber nubs.

Specifications:
Frame = ALUXX SL-Grade Aluminum
Rear Shock = FOX Float Performance
Rear Travel = 139.7mm
Front Fork = FOX 32 Float Performance with 15mm Thru-Axle, Tapered Steerer
Fork Travel = 140mm
Rear Travel = 139.7mm
Brakes = Shimano M615, Hydraulic Disc, 180mm Front/160mm Rear
Brake Levers = Shimano M615, Hydraulic Disc
Drivetrain = 2x
Shifters = Shimano Deore
Front Derailleur = Shimano Deore
Rear Derailleur = Shimano SLX, Shadow+
Cranks = Shimano SLX
Chainrings = 24/38 Tooth
Bottom Bracket = Shimano, Press Fit
Cassette = Shimano HG50, 11-36 Tooth, 10-Speed
Rims = Giant S XC-2, Double Wall
Hubs = Giant Sport Tracker Disc, 32 Hole

I no longer have the patience to deal with all the, where can I see it? can I test ride it? will you accept $xxx? Do you use Venmo? etc..

So here goes... $200 CASH
If you're willing to bring ten $20 bills, PM me to set up day/time to pick it up. (I live in East Mesa near Recker & Brown)

Should you wish to buy it and resell it for a profit, that's up to you.

If no takers within the next 3-4 days I'll donate it to Sunshine Acres.

Bike has been donated

I tried but it was too small for my son, but donating to Sunshine Acres is really cool.

Not that much on Bush Lite/Hawes trails... I can do without all the traffic, 95% of my riding is on the opposite side of Bush Highway.

My travels range from the West end of the Salt Interpretive Trail (from Phon D Sutton), sometimes passing the Goldfield Rec Site (tubing take-out) and continuing as far East as the overlook at the Foxtail Admin (kayak take-out) site. On the return I wind my way back along various old horse trails.
Most days I don't see another soul (hiker or biker) but I definitely have a much better chance of encountering wildlife.
