I had a triple, but could never figure out which side of the bottom bracket it mounted. then there was the "only two feet" issue, so in the end I put it up on craigslist. they're goin' like hot-cakes over there....the unwritten rule about triple cranks . . .
I had to search for a picture of the OD Green. I like it too. Enjoy the ride and post some of your adventures/ trip reports in the Xterra and bike here for us keyboard jockeys to ride along with.Cross your fingers for me guys, if all goes to plan I'm going to swing by the bike shop after work to see about getting that Catalyst 2. Hope they don't close early, I guess they could sell it before I get there, but I doubt any giants are going to swing by since I last seen it. (It's last years model, I bet it's been there a while. Also it's kind of an OD green, I like that color a lot better than say, purple.)
Everything I read on it says it's a sold beginner bike and should do fine until I progress, the price makes it obtainable from my goof off fund.
Thanks everyone for your input, it helped a lot.
All went well and I picked it up before they closed yesterday. Needs some minor adjusting to fit me better perhaps, but so far I'm liking it. I need some adjusting to fit it as well I suppose....I was in there yesterday picking up a crank removal tool, and saw the od green Catalyst. Good looking bike.
