Buyer's Premium:

A Giant Rock mountain bike, of step-through form, featuring a metal frame decorated with red and black graphics. The bicycle is fitted with front suspension forks protected by black gaiters. The mechanical components include rim-pull V-brakes and a multi-speed drivetrain comprising a triple chainring crankset and a rear derailleur, controlled by handlebar-mounted grip shifters. The wheels consist of spoked metal rims with off-road tyres. The frame is marked with GIANT in large block letters on the down tube, a stylised G logo followed by ROCK on the top tube, and ROCK near the rear dropout of the chainstay. The black padded saddle is marked GIANT on the rear side, and a stylised G logo badge is located on the head tube. A small blue adhesive label is present near the bottom bracket, but the characters are not legible. No other maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.


Condition report:

The bicycle shows signs of use and environmental exposure. Significant surface rust is visible on the chain and the rear gear cassette. The frame displays multiple scuffs, scratches, and areas of accumulated dirt throughout. The tyres are muddy and the rubber shows signs of aging. Both the handlebar grips and shifters show wear to the contact surfaces from use. A full mechanical inspection and service is recommended to ensure the functionality of the brakes and gears. No lights, locks, or additional accessories are included.
