I love my bike, so obviously a 10

AndrewCull replied... on 8 July 2011

Its certainly a different feel, I've had it a week, the first ride was strange, felt like something was missing..Its my first time back on a bike in about 9 years...I used to have a Santa Cruz Heckler..I should never have sold it, its was gorgeous but.....as good as it was its not a patch on the Cannondale.
Thanks for the 10....much appreciated.

The giant has now being specced out with new forks (the old ones gave up after 14 years of hard abuse, most of which was down to my dad who previously owned the bike).
So now new forks have been added, Sr suntour series 011 forks, for sr suntours they work ridiculously well. The rest of the bike is mostly original 1997 stuff apart from raceface bars and easton stem.
