On Test: Giant Reign Advanced 1

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Saw the Reign parked outside the Conters coffee shop before I went off onto the trails on my OneTen29. It was mid-morning, assume you had returned from the trails already. But yeah, the bike certainly caught my attention!

Green one ten?

[Chavo]

Green one ten?

Yes indeed

[JXV]

I (conveniently) blame the camera. [emoji14]h34r:

Try shooting with the sunlight behind you and slightly off to either side....or use fill flash when shooting into strong sunlight. You'll get less deep shadows/contrast and richer looking colours.

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Yes indeed

Yeah. Talked to you briefly. Marko was the guy saying he'd paint his bike that colour just to make it look like yours, and I was the guy in the blue and green flannel with the mop on his head.

pulled it into the shade for one of the shots. And I stood in the path of the sun for one of the others...

Ah right! Ok cool, good to put a face to the Renaissance Man

 

Sorry I didn't hang round longer to chat to you guys, next time for sure

I  must have just missed you too then as I was chatting to them at the same time and was trying to convince the youngster to slow down for the ou toppies that he was riding with........I was the rider with the fat fatty parked at the coffee shop...just saying

[Raydek]

Did anyone else see the dude on the unicycle? Or was it just my pre coffee eyes…….

The Pyga was around when we rode down.

And the little maniac left me for dead again. It's become a recurring theme and I don't see it getting any better...

Nah, this was after we got down... 

 

And yes, he was good on the climbs. Always (mostly) is...

It was real.

That said while we saw him ride up nobody saw him come back down again...

[popcorn_skollie]

I don't know how anyone can have a problem with the green. It would be my first choice between it the blue or the orange.

This is true hey.. wonder if he is still up there… or were we that slow...

[Brawler]

One thing puts me off the colour scheme. The crank!

Bike would look so sick if it was black.

[Headshot]

Dig the chunky lines of the carbon front triangle. This colour scheme shows it off better than the blue/black of the "0" .

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Yeah, Tim - it really does look supreme. The frame looks REALLY chunky, and properly built.
