Hi does anybody here know if you could fit a 05-06 giant reign with a 1.5" steerer tube?

So it's been a while since I've posted some progress and upgrades so here is my bike pics about 1month old all upgrades done are some shimano clipless pedals.Will upload some more recent pics tomorrow,i've done some nice upgrading since these pics were taken.here they are let me know what you think so far

Was thinking of getting these shoes

I can ride with cleats I just want to know what would be the best to ride in?

I'm thinking about getting mtb shoes(cleats) as I already have the pedals or maybe I should just get new flat pedals DMRv8 or crankBros 5050X.What would you do?I do allmountain and some xc riding mad bout mtb2009-12-21 09:21:25
