Morning all,

For sale is my great purple 1994 Giant Chaos with DX/XT kit.

It has been used as a baby carrier for the past year but Jnr has outgrown his seat and I need the garage space now!

Frame in reasonable used condition. Usual scuffs, scratches and some paint damage. No rust but a small dint on the side of the top tube from over zealous bar turning.

Bought as frame and forks and then transplanted all the kit from a 1993 Marin Pine Mountain onto it. The PM was tiny sized so a worthy donor.

Kit:
Bontrager bars
Bontrager stem
XT Dual Brake and Shifters
ODI grips
XT Brakes
DX Crankset
XT Rear mech
XT Front mech
DX Hubs - Will check what Mavic rims they are.
Generic tyres.

All running well but could do with a service. Gears need indexing and rims could benefit from a true. Four spokes were replaced on the rear wheel when I bought it. It's a lovely bike and been great for baby carrying purposes.

I'll upload pictures and exact measurements when I return home later.

Looking for £120 collected ONO

Any questions please ask.

Based just off Junc 3 M42, work in Coventry city but travel down the M40 to Basingstoke once a fortnight.

Cheers

Chris

THIS IS NOT THE ACTUAL BIKE BUT THE SAME MODEL FOR ILLUSTRATION!

Right time to update with some better details:

£110 collectedONO

Ok, checked it over and probably better to say fairly well used condition. Plenty scratches, scuffs and stone chips. Only dent is a very shallow one on the top tube.

Kit:
Salsa Moto Ace bars
Unbranded stem
XT Dual Brake and Shifters
ODI grips
DX 650 Brakes
DX Crankset MT60
XT Rear mech
XT Front mech
Original Giant saddle
DX Hubs M650 - Mavic M231 Hubs
Generic tyres - Well worn

All running well but could do with a service. Gears need indexing and could do with a new tyre. Four spokes were replaced on the rear wheel when I bought it. It's a lovely bike and been great for baby carrying purposes.

I changed it to single front ring but i'll include:
Front mech
Original chainrings
Front shifter

and any other bots I can find for it!












 
Sadly not, was a cool bike though and I would have gone full-klunker on it now if I still had it.
Cheers
