Weight from Tread MAG JULY/AUGUST pg 58 It's accurate, look at the wheelset and component spec as well. XT level spec is only the crank and front/rear deraillers.

Danger Dassie Posted August 8, 2012 Share So I got my bike sold, WHOOP WHOOP!!! and went to go gert my new bike the weekend...but to no avail :-( They did however show me the new titan 29er PRO and MY EFFEN WORD! the bike is beautifull! only problem is they'll only be arriving mid to end september.. Some of the specs:Full XTReba forkZTR Arch wheels I hope it is this way cos my name is right ata top of the wanted list!! If its not what I expect it to be I'll go with the giant! :-) Thats quite different to what was tested.Tested bike;XT Crank, front derailer, rear derailerRecon forkAlex rims with Shimano non-series hubs. It is possible they've shown an up-specced model in the range to you, with the same frame. Edited August 8, 2012 by danger dassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopkop Posted August 14, 2012 Share @ AARON - I'm doing this purchasing on my student budget which im sure has made me spend more on petrol which I could of used to purchase a bike already. I've had a look now at the silverback storm 2...hehehehe, can I get the storm 2 but on the storm 1 frame? The reviews on the storm 1 sound really really positive and I'm sure it'll be more or less the same for the storm 2 as just the fork and groupset are different. Does anyone know where I can find the storm 2 for a good price? i think R22k(LBS) is a bit steep and way over budget The wait for the 2013 stock to arrive is driving me INSANE and its only been 10 days since my wait has started.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 14, 2012 Share Hey mopkop, the storms are all the same frame (unless the 1 is carbon) so getting 2's components on 1's frame would be kinda silly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked that ja..but the orange on the storm 2 looks like ASS..the storm has red in it which makes it faster ;-)hahaha Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
