Hey all Xterra folks, I am selling my baby…
It is a 2005 model, I bought it in 06, rode for one summer- which was only about 300 miles or so, hurt my back (unrelated to the bike) and haven’t ridden it in over a year. I hate to do it, but it needs to go and I need the money.
It has two rides on a new cassette and chain (about 20 miles) and still has the original tires- which look great- if that speaks to the level of abuse it has been through. It performs perfectly, and needs no mechanical attention that I know of. The rear brake squeals a little when it’s gets warm, but that may be normal. The paint has a few cable rubs and a couple of nicks on the bottom and on the chainstay. It’s pretty normal MTB wear and tear, but the bike has not been abused in any sense of the word.
It is a large, I believe, although it may be a medium. Comparing it to the current measurements of the 08, it is most like the large. If someone has a geometry chart from 05, let me know. It is definitely a bit on the small side for me at 6’1", but I like my mountain bikes to be “under me.”

The only non-stock items are the more comfortable saddle, shimano instead of sram cassette and the handlebar ends. EDIT: just found out that the deore LX crankset is not normal spec, I believe it would be an upgrade from the stock bontrager one?
