B1cyk1ll3r Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 Ive just read the entire thread on the reign 2 and im pretty much sold on that bike. If i can't get it now ill wait until i can unless something better comes out for that price point! I would however like to find someone with the same bike or similar i can try out before dropping that kind of money. After all this will be the 1st MTB ive ever bought...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 You have been waiting a while. Is it being delivered by the South African post office or whats the story. Lekka looking ride that. That is about the only bike Giant sells that I could happily own.They were "arriving at the end of May" EDIT: They are in the country!!! Just clearance, stock inputs and invoice.
B1cyk1ll3r Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 Looks like a 2nd hand DH bike will have to be the choice...ive hustled and hustled my way down to a 33k price on the reign 2 but after crunching the numbers i just cannot afford to get it unless i financed it for the next 6+ years...
B1cyk1ll3r Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 What about the trance guys? Looking at this: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/141159-650b-giant-trance-2-price-drop/
Eddy Gordo Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 They were "arriving at the end of May" EDIT: They are in the country!!! Just clearance, stock inputs and invoice. Dont worry you will get it soon. I know the wait seems long and one gets imnpatient. Been there and now totally stoked to ride. You will be too!!
DanielJhb Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 What about the trance guys? Looking at this: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/141159-650b-giant-trance-2-price-drop/Good deal. You can always upgrade to a 160mm pike if you find its not enough bike for you, though doubt you will need to
Joe Massapuss Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Apparently you can also put a 200x57 shock in to increase the rear wheel travel to 160mm, and everything works fine, rear triangle doesn't touch anywhere.

B1cyk1ll3r Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 Pietermaritzburg, Been to Greg Minnaar's store but the range is limited.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Dial'd, fullthrottle.co.za and a few other moto stores. Then the standard online ones.
popcorn_skollie Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Mooi sled. Please don't change those mismatched wheels. White lowers. Black rear triangle. I like it. Oh and congrats.
