    After enjoying this bike from 9/17 to 12/18, I’m going to tweak the size by getting an “extra-medium” frame in place of this medium. Just a little more reach to accommodate my +3.5” ape index and desired characteristics. So this medium frame is for sale.

    GG sizing for this frame suggests 5’8” to 6’ rider. (It’s a very big “medium.”) I'm 5'10.5".

    The coil shock on this frame as shown below will be swapped out with a Rockshox Deluxe RT air shock with low hours before sale. (The RS D RT is a standard Smash option.) Frame includes FSA headset, Syntace axle and seat collar. Does not include bottle cage or NUTS strap; available from GG.

    The bearings were serviced about 5 months before I stopped riding the bike. They were in overall good shape with a very slight flat spot at sag. The bearings were then turned 180°. Headset is in perfect shape. No issues with the frame whatsoever. No bad scratches or dents. Buffs out nicely with a Scotchbrite pad. IMTBTrails stickers if you want.

    Looking for $1250 plus shipping from 80401. Can knock some off if you would rather have the frame with no shock. Buyer must have intention to smash the sh¡t out of rough trails. All others, keep shopping. :geek:

    If that bike could talk - it's done more in its short time with you than it would have under 10,000 other so-called mt bikers (self included) in 5 years.

    Hope it goes to a worthy home.

    If I drank I'd pour out a sip. Seeing your bike on here was the first GG I'd ever seen. I was immediately drawn to it, and am quite sure I'd not have mine if not for that.

    Come on, keep it in the imtb family. Someone need to sell their Santa Cruz and diversify.

    LOL. That’ll be a tough row to hoe. :laugh::thumbsup:

    Thanks for the good words, guys. Hard to be too sentimental since a Smash will take its place. :)

    Update:

    My new-to-me Smash frame is en route, so will get serious about liquidating my medium frame next week.

    I've decided to keep both shocks, so my medium frame will sell without a shock. This of course brings the price down and opens up shock options for the buyer. Numerous coil and air options from RS, Fox, Push, Cane Creek, MRP and DVO have been spec'ed or used on the Smash successfully.

    An "extra-medium" size Smash. Essentially a medium with the reach of a large. Perfect for a 5-10 knuckledragger. :thumbsup:

    No, a cat in Flagstaff. Saw another shockless x-medium in Fort Collins, so they are around. Enough to spawn the adjustable reach headset... :geek:

    Last update before I kick this beauty out the door:

    GG replaced the angled contact rocker bearings with the newer, longer-lasting cartridge bearings which they have now adopted as standard. The lower pivot was in great shape, Bailey said. So this frame is now functionally perfect, ready for smashing.

    My (former) frame is still for sale...not by me. The guy who snatched it put it back up for sale, same price, claiming he had a plan change. Then it vanished and I thought it was gone for good. But, no! Same guy built it up and posted it for $3500. Haha, dreaming with that build. I'm thinking he saw it as a financial opportunity, or maybe the ride curiosity got the best of him.

    Didn't seem like it, since he initially tried to unload the frame straight across. Who knows why the crazy things people do...

    For sentimental reasons I want someone to own and ride the bearings off it. :geek:

    I don’t think I’ve seen a GG in person, maybe this season!:thumbsup:

    Thanks, Sar. :)

    Now that you are once again a dirt purveyor, it'll be a matter of time before you see a GG in the hide. A short matter if you ride with @Sassyquatch, @Danimal, @buggravy, @knucklebuster or myself (I miss anyone?). :cool: Nothing special to look at, but the ride is :inlove:... Made-in-America frames cinch the awesomeness factor.

    Safe patrolling for guerrillas to you... :p

    Maybe @DangerDirtyD is willing to take a slight loss and trade his Giant for the GG so we can get it back in the family.

    Like the idea...despite the frame size possibly not being ideal. :)

    My beloved Giant is a medium, so I should be good there. And since some of my most memorable riding on it has been with Mike, I think I am open to offers for a trade if he throws in some shuttle vouchers.
