rrp on the 2008 model is $1400

i can't find my mag with previous year model prices in it. (that isn't true, i just CBF looking)

there is a magazine that you can get from your local newsagent called 'bicycling buyers guide'. it lists the RRP of pretty much every mtb or road bike over about $500. it has a few specs on the bike too. comes in handy if you are looking at buying a bike because some shops run their prices are above RRP, so it's a very easy way to knock a few dollars off.

$350

w00t

24 speedddddsssss

that's a pretty good price.

My bike but in blue not orange - Apollo Altitude XC :sleep:

so that would be either a 2006 or 2007 model. if it is a darkish blue then it is the 2006, and if it is a medium blue with silver where the orange is on the one in the picture its a 2007 model. they haven't really changed much in the past few years.

I have a specialised hard rock mountain bike. Its a few years old now but it still does the job.

My dad has an orbea. Cost ova 4gz and i can pick it up with one finger. Its an awsome bike to ride.

Dont have pictures of them though

I guess mines the 2007 model with the medium blue and silver - I was thinking why theres no blue listed there :D

Bought a stock '07 Giant STP0 in mid '07, swapped seat and post...

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
