Giant Iguana Mountain Bike from 1998 – time for a re-furb!

Late 90's Giant Mountain bikes were highly regarded in the vintage mountain biking community as "bombproof," due to durable construction while offering excellent value. Although this Giant Iguana was not a high-end race bike, it is considered a classic "workhorse" that is ideal for commuting, urban riding, or light trail use, with many like this one lasting for decades.
