Anyone looking to offload a mountain bike?

Need to suit 6'3 rider, back in Perth in 13 days, keen to buy.

Anymore specifics? What are you planning on spending and what are you planning on doing with it? Downhill, trails or something cheap to down to the pub?

Have a race prepped Giant Reign and a cheap Giant Kmart style special I am looking to get rid of, but both medium frames so probably too small for you anyways.

Downhill, off road trails sort of thing.

I have a 2011 Giant Anthem X3 that I may get rid of. Same height as you. Ridden it once, literally.

Anthem is a XC race bike, heads down, bum up seating position.

You'd want a Trance X/Reign in Giants if you want a dually IMHO.

For someone who messaged me, didn't make it home to take a pic, this is the exact bike, mine has Kenda tyres however. Great bike, just got no time to ride it sadly :( my loss is your gain.

Cplagz you seem to be the guru on bikes.

What would you reccomend for a 6'1" rider just looking to pedal around the trails up Kalamunda way where I live.

Edit: should add I'm looking to spend maybe 1000. And plan to go pretty hard, used to ride bmx.

I run a specialized rockhopper - pretty happy with it, is a hard tail.
