For some reason i'm not loving the forks, but the attention to detail concerning the Carbon Fibre deserves a 10 alone. Loving the black frame too.

Nice ride.
Got some nice bits on it!!

vitaminjayz replied... on 3 April 2009

thanks for all the nice comments and good ratings ,im trying to find the pivot bolts in titanium gold but cant find any atm .i also phoned up giant to ask about the carbon fibre rocker they wanted £220.00 so i think il pass on that ,if anyone has a crashed 2007 carbon trance they want to donate and i can use the rear end then i think that be great have half an alloy bike and half carbon fibre .im also planning selling my spd,s even tho few weeks old and getting some eggbeater c .

Personally I'm not a huge fan of Rock Shox forks (I prefer Manitou R7's, Fox & Pace). I've no real knowledge of Alex rims for MTB's but I have them on my WeThePeople Addict BMX and although heavy are pretty bomb proof! That said the rest of the bike looks great.

vitaminjayz replied... on 6 February 2009

yeah alex rims are ok its wot came with the bike ,as with the rock shox there realy light and have poploc the recon race retail from £379 to £399 for the model i have but i got a bargain of just £150 .also there tons lighter and better than the manitou axel elite forks that cam with the bike

i think the only other thing il change is get a hollowtech 2 chainset and some carbon fibre handle bars

Really like the Giant range of bikes, seems like this is well loved with the upgrades to a very nice spec....just missing some nice forks up front, some Pikes or Fox 32's would push it to a 10 !!

Nice ride. I dont know a lot about giant's and cant really see on this pic, but is the rear shock surrounded by the frame? I've never seen that before.

vitaminjayz replied... on 23 January 2009

yeah the frame is hydroformed and goes larger as it goes down to the bottom bracket then there a hole for the fox rear shock to go thru ,its very clever and i think great design as it protects the shock more and also i feel makes the frame lighter .giant is one of the largest in house frame manufacturers in the world ,where other companys farm out the work to frame builders .giant dont

Now Theres plenty of bikes that look the biz. But looking and doing the Buisness is another story .This bike is 06 wots special about it not thats its a grands worth bike. no cos it has hydro frame fox32 float rebound And with updated gears bars and good chain set this bike i bet will ride well.ive been looking threw many posts all good only thing needs to be updated be the forks but to me not essental as yet as this bike only just been bought less 5min old being 06 bike 100mm travel i dont think these forks gonna be pants lets face it. ive measured this beast up against my MARIN RIFT ZONE 08 it covers nearly all main parts mine has.to think this bike was bought for £500 is to me a steel and a bargin.
well done jay. who said january sales sucks.. so i give this bike a good 9/10 get them shocks m8 and some pedals too ill give you a 10

HiredHelp replied... on 22 January 2009

OK OK he got pedals you get that 9/half no i cant be means its good ride good bike he scores a 10/10

lovely 'chine would be very proud to own this dark and idealic UK steed, no other bike required, evermore. If i were to be a absolute arse i would moan about the remaining brake boss on the front fork, but i am not so all is cool, as its missing pedals and looks a complete minter i would say its straight out the box

vitaminjayz replied... on 21 January 2009

yeah its brand new out the box ,ive ordered the pedals (spd)also im waiting for my m8 bring round spanner to remove the brake bosses
