Giant Excursion Touring Bikes
I have two Giant Excursion touring bikes I am interested in selling. My wife and I used them for two tours, one down the coast of California and the other the coast of Washington and San Juan Islands. That was over 20 years ago. We then purchased a tandem for touring together. They are both in excellent condition and are complete and fully functional. Haven't been ridden for 20+ years. They have been stored indoors their entire life. Again, excellent condition and would be sold as pictured. I have more photos if needed to make a price recommendation. I'm curious what the forum's thoughts are on a fair price. As you can see they have pannier racks front and rear. Fenders as well. Has a unique built-in wired front light with a generator that is engaged with a lever on the seat tube. As well a frame mounted lock that locks the rear wheel. Deore LX components.
Any recommendations for a fair price would be greatly appreciated.
**** I attempted to post two photos of each bike and was denied as I don't have 10 posts or more. If there is a way to post them or send them to you if interested let me know. ****

NOTE: I posted previously and mistakenly referred to them as Fuji when they are actually Giant Excursions. Tired to edit the tread title and was unable so I am reposting for accuracy.

Thank you Davet for the offer! Very kind of you. I attempted to send you a PM and I am also restricted to a minimum of 10 posts. I'll post some more to get over the 10 minimum. Then I'll post some photos. Thanks again!

Post your location!!! Post the frame sizes of the bikes. Anyone who knows the bike and wants one needs to know those two vital bits of information.

Duplicate thread. He's already posted them as Giants in two other places. We still don't know the location or the sizes of the bikes. Just sayin'.

2. I re-posted in this forum because I mistakenly had the title of the post indicating Fuji when they are actually Giant. Edit did not allow me to change Fuji and I had no way to delete the post.
3. I replied to a post about an Excursion and answered a question a poster had about them.

Just wanted to say, those are some sweet bikes.
I'd love to see more trekking style bikes in the US.. but as that model only lasted a year or two in the early 90's I doubt that will happen nowadays.
