    Can't go wrong at that price! As long as it rolls it should be grand for getting started off road.

    wow, I've been on the lookout for one of these bikes for a decade! my first mtb was a giant box two (just front sus) and I loved it-really light and distinctive looking..have fun and let me know if you;re getting rid of it!

    I'd never heard of it so I was curious :)

    I'd assume it's decent enough, given that it's Giant, but being twelve years old it must be fairly dated at this stage. If there's a hardtail version (as colm18 says) then that might actually have aged a bit better.

    They use the same naming convention as I do for former partners.
