Waiting is bad!! But waiting for a Giant must be very bad! Big%20smile

 

?

 

At least he's got a proper front shock with two pillars Clown

 

Scalpel can ride with one pillar and ride dust in the eyes of the Giant...

 

On his back wheel of course...

 

Nice one Danlate...don't see any mud spots on the bike. Don't they come standard in the UK or is it an add on?

Scalpel, after i read of all the scalpels breaking chainstays, it put me off cannondale.

 

 

 

Fish, we have real mud here, not like the guys in sandton...

Danlate, I thought you had taste when riding the Charge...

 

Now Giant...what went wrong? Is it the woman in you life?

 

Ha ha

 

Scalpel, please send Danlate a picture of your bike, he'll trade his in before it even arrives...saw 2 new ones yesterday. The 2009 models... They are looking very fast

Awesome bike. See the review of the X1 in What Mountain Bike November edition. The Giant pretty much matches the new Epic, which is twice as expensive. Enjoy.

well you can count yourself lucky if you get those racing ralphs stock on the x2.

 

mine came stock with standard maxxis crossmarks. changed them pronto to some spez UST's

 

got the x1 with x0 and xtr bits and it is a dreamride (except uphills where the epic will probably be a bit lighter)
