    Great frame, good components, very good value
    At the time I bought my Rincon, back in 2003 I had about $300 to spend on a new bike. I wasn't planning on doing too much trail riding, but I wanted decent components to hold up to the occasional trip in the dirt. I shopped around a lot checking out $300 bikes from Trek, Gary Fisher, Specialized, etc, but I kept coming back to the Giant as it was the best bang for the buck. Frankly, most of the bikes in the Rincon's price range were junk! I finally found the bike on sale at Performance Bike plus it included lifetime adjustments, so I had a little extra piece of mind with my purchase. I found myself doing street riding almost exclusively and soon switched to street tires. Besides tires the only upgrades I've performed so far has been a Blackburn MTB rack and Crank Bros. Candy pedals. I have an upcoming camping trip coming up, so knobby tires will be going back on shortly, and I'm sure the complaints about the RST fork will become obvious to me :)
