Stuart Corbishley Posted January 9, 2013 Share The Giant Reign 1 looks like a great bike. Awesome components for the price. http://www.giant-bic....1/11517/55878/ But since a bike is not just it's components, what about the frame? Anyone riding one of these?Why is it so much cheaper than the equivalent Trek etc?I haven't found a lot of reviews or opinions in general about it.

Oh and that Giant manufacture frames for most it's competition. I've had a Reign since 2005. Edited January 10, 2013 by Pain or Shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbelBuys Posted January 11, 2013 Share I've been looking for an 'older' (std head tube) reign frame for quite some time. A friend of mine has got 1 & he's loving it. I took a spin on it & like it as well, but haven't been able to tweak it nicely that it fits better than my trance. The trance kicks ass & I'm pretty sure the Reign will too !!!

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 11, 2013 Share I have the Reign X - it is aaaawesome. And as for the fit, it's an AM bike whereas the Trance is a trail / XC WEAPON. The Reign will be able to do all you can on the Trance, but will be a more relaxed style on the way up (not as racey) but will bliksem the trance on the way down. PorS has the Reign. New frame. He rides all over the place, and is faster than most XC monkeys on the way up. And WAAAAY faster on the way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 11, 2013 Share Oh - and as for the price thing, it's just that GIANT DS bikes are THAT much more of a value proposition than the competition. And they work. Wy do you think the Anthem is the most popular DS XC bike in the country? Cheap, well built and bombproof. Ditto for the trance, reign and so on.

Guest Omega Man Posted January 11, 2013 Share Oh. @ the OP. I have a mate who is selling a 2013 Reign 1 if you are interested. It's a medium. Just like the one in the picture. He's fitted it with Hans Dampf tires and a more AM orientated stem. He works for a bike shop and it's a demo bike hence the reason for the sale. PM me if you want his name and number.
