giant /spesh project

[cyberknight]

Browsing facefluff marketplace and saw a MTB offered for free !!
Now im normally wary of such things as they tend to be a pile of poo but this is a Giant Boulder Team , right size for me although it could do with a longer stem as the current one is a high rise shorty stem that is too low if i flip.
Good points
Everything works
Bad points
well worn
mismatched wheels and tyres
Giant Boulder Team 2003 as far as i can work out so finding specs is a bit hard unless anyone has any information
tock photo for now


Edited OP to reflect changes
also gifted a spesh womens hardtail , choices of what to do !!

not for that , its not a normal o/s size

 

[Jameshow]

I'll see what I've got, away atm.

Back Tuesday.

That colour must have been used across the range at that time. I had a cfr in the exact same scheme, carbon tubes bonded into aluminium lugs with Ultegra group.

Stem is an 80 mm high rise jobbie but im not sure of the diameter

Choices , choices
It has a 175 mm crank and i prefer 170s , get a cheap matched wheelset ? repaint the frame ? definitely needs a longer flat stem .

 

[sevenfourate]

Cheap matched wheelset (The non matching current items would bug me rotten) - and a repaint would be my line of attack in the first instance too.

The rest is superficial and you can swap / change easily whenever.

What colour(s) then is the only question 🤣

Would have thought it's a standard diameter not oversized.
I'll look tomorrow night. Remind me!!

Looking good. Have you swapped the forks?

The Altus chainset probably weighs as much as a boulder.
