Dear Neighbors, I'm selling my 2005 Gary Fisher, Tassajara Genesis mountain bike. I bought it here from a neighbor ~1 month ago, and, though I LOVE the bike, it is JUST TOO BIG for me, and since it's a mountain bike, it isn't well-suited for road commuting, which is what I was using it for (though I have to say, I LOVE the shocks over these Pittsburgh potholes ;-) I've ridden it *<* 5 times in the past month that I've owned it. I'm reselling it for $550. I had it tuned up and new pedals put on (one side of the pedals are flat for regular shoes, the other side clips into biking shoes) at Trek Bicycles (a great bike shop!)--so it's all greased up and ready to go! It's a really sweet ride. I wish I had time to do some * real* mountain biking (Negley Ave doesn't count ;-) You can see the specs on the Gary Fisher webpage archives: http://fisherbikes.com/bike/archivemodel/178
From the previous owner: "It only got moderate and infrequent use as a mountain bike. I never rode it in the city or on pavement, so the tires are in pretty good shape. This is a good bike for someone who needs to replace a mountain bike or get into mountain biking, but who doesn't want to spend retail money. "
Summary: --17.5" frame (will fit a person 5' 8" and shorter...caveat-->I am 5"4 and it was a bit big for me) --Deore and Deore LX components (which are much better than average components) --Dual suspension fork (bottom up and top down suspension makes for a cushy ride; you can lock out all suspension as well). --Smaller hand grips and a shorter top tube for its size make this a women's specific bike; it's still a hard core mountain bike. --Comes with SPD pedals. I have an extra pair (brand new) that I can throw in for free. (I still have these extra 'regular' pedals b/c I bought and put the flat/bike shoe pedals on) Becky 412.867.6093
