It goes for $1,200 at my dealer, MSRP is $1,350 I think.
http://centercycle.com/product/speci...ro-48707-1.htm
When I bought it I got a slight discount since the 2010s were just around the corner, I got it for $1,050.
The wheel reflectors are coming off later this week.
I took the front handlebar one off a week back, and the rear one that was on the seatpost came off when the toolkit bag was installed.

Yesterday in the Columbia River Gorge near home.
My first "keeper" MTB (another thread), an '09 Gary Fisher X-Caliber. Smooth, stable, balanced, quiet and confidence inspiring. Riding the learning curve and expanding the envelope is more fun on every ride. Like other quality goods it costs a bit more but feels like you can depend on it for a lifetime.

Wow. Its really good I stumbled on this thread, I just googled my bike, and the tires on it and realized how much its worth. Whoops.
I have a Giant Rincon. Only 550 miles its like 4 or 5 years old. It has then Kenda Nevegal, and blue groove tires on it, they are NICE, but noisy. I really need to do some maintenance to it, especially since it sits outside
Not to be OT, but any tips on maintenance, its basically never been done.

Should start a bike maintenance thread, or this one will get over run.
Bob, great pic.
I am going out this weekend to some good singletrack.
I can not lug my Sony digital with me, to big.
Will try to get cell phone pics though.
Can not wait for the HD GoPro to ship later this month, then I will have a camera with me full time.

jrock, that's nuts. It looks like brakes off a Corolla.
Corey, thanks. I was playing with a new HDR photo edit app and got carried away.
Today was a short ride but warm and scenic of about 14 miles on a fire road in the national forest at Larch Mtn. Most every critter was eating, fattening up for Winter. Oh, and the wooly caterpillars are out, supposedly a sign of a hard Winter coming.
I had to do two minor trailside repairs. A pebble caught in the caliper and sounded bad and the ff der cable slipped out and rubbed against the tire knobs. No worries, got home easily in the center chainring.
Great weekend coming up, maybe the last warm and dry one for awhile...like six months.
