Giant"Boulder" MTB

I'm considering purchasing a 2007 Giant Boulder off craigslist (picture below). Not sure what model.

I wont be doing much trail riding. Mostly running around town. Urban riding.

Anyone have personal reviews or opinions on these bike?! Any info would be appreciated.


Thanks!

If it fits (that is a really small frame), everything is in good shape and the price is right, that would work for your intended purpose. Swapping the tires with road slicks would be a good move if you don't plan to ride off-road.

Crap. Ad doesn't say but it might be a youth bike or something.

I'm 5'8 and am used to getting around on my 24" BMX cruiser so it may work out.

I'll inquire. Thanks.

Bikes: Many

Does look like a really small frame, looks like they came in a 12.5" size, though, so that might be why it doesn't even look like the other Boulders that year https://bikepedia.com/Search.aspx?Q=2007+boulder . Hope by urban you're not going to be jumping stairs and such, wouldn't expect it to hold up well for that.

I'd guess you should be on about an 18" frame. Much larger than this one.

Ended up finding a great deal on a 2009 Giant Rincon.
