just picked up a GIANT yukon FX last night, its a 2009 model but thats cool with me because it looks better then the 2010 model and my buddy gave me a hell of a deal on it.

my understanding is that its a good bike for the money and really i only payed a $100 more then i was wanting to pay and $500 less then I was going to pay for another bike.
So im looking to get a bike here next week and need some help, Im kinda looking at getting a trek 3 series 3900 DISK but can any one help me out? Ive been on BMX bikes for a long time just no idea about mountain bikes. I know i kinda want one with disk brakes and id like to keep it at $500 or below
so brake lines are all finished up except one or two connections. I think I like to think i did a pretty good job with it and it all mounts up outta the way like i wanted too.
before you ask, yes that is where my tire rubs the frame.

there is a reason they are attached with zip ties, that way if you clip a cone etc the zip tie will break away allowing the bumper to give a bit.
IIRC the head on that car is built with new springs, retainers and some BC cams.
woo safety cage car! that car was built for one reason only, to get down sideways.
btw replace that BOV asap i know the car never had it hooked up on the track so that turbos probably needing replaced.
