Unexpected purchase the 1995 Giant Bronco MTB
Good Evening
The person who sold me the Gary Fisher frame had a nice Giant for sale at an unbeatable for sale using the Alcoa CU92 6013 T6 Aluminium tubing. It was a big size frame like was my Gary Fisher, so I grabed, I already have wheels for it, I will need to buy shifter cranks, brake lever, vbrakes, cassette, tires, tubes and a fork.
The Bronco was the predecessor of the ATX 880 in the Giant Series. The 6013 offered better weldability and resistance to fatigue compared to the 6061 and the 7005 aluminium series which is why I bought it. The color itself was unusual and very unique.

Yesterday afternoon, I completely repainted all the scratches and chips on the Giant Bronco with three coats of green nail polish very close to the original color for maximum protection.

Good Evening
It has been a while that I haven't updated this thread, the project is finished. Total weight of the bike is 11.9kilos but isa large size with a pair of crossmax mk1 xt780t-xt8000 groupset, very pleasant and fast to ride
Have a nice week end
Very best regards and stay safe
