Cracking bike mate, full respect for the thumbies, the most reliable shift of all time in my opinon. Brake boster, air oil forks and purple anodised hubs and ends, full respect

I've still got those thumb shifters now actually...the DX ones.

Actually the even older Mag 20's though they did have the 21's fork brace, whic was replaced when the original one broke.

I know the photo's rubbish but it's the only one I've got. When this came out there were no other bike manufactuer's making Carbon Fibre mountain bikes, who could come close to the quality of those from Giant, even managed to win a race on this.

My second Bike, this was a Carbon Fibre Giant frame made in 92, with a Mag 20 rock Shox fork. with some of the first pairs of XT 'V' Brakes to hit these shores, it was light at around 23lbs, and the back end felt like it had a limited amount of suspension due to the Carbon Kevlar stay's. Unfortunately the bike was stolen in 97.
