What other Giant do you have, Cap?

 

The other Giant is my afghani pack mule, Giant AC. Lank old model. Built like a tank, weighs like one too, but super reliable. Oneday someday I'll get something a bit more modern, aka much lighter.

Those AC's were the best. There were coiler and air shock versions if I remember correct? Which one you have?

I had the coiler, which i replaced with a Fox Van R. finally ditched the manitou stance blunt and went with an RS Revelation upfront. Now she is behaving herself. That manitou wasnt bad at all, but well past it's best before.

 

honestly though, i've been thinking of just respraying the frame. A good coat of paint with some decent graphics can easily peel back the years.

Nah, bro... one is enough. I need to touch mine up anyway - didn't give it enough time to set before I took her for a spin! Rookie Error!

Jeesh, the suspense is killing me! I've been riding Majik for like 10 years and never thought of timing the runs. Well mostly because I'm too *** slow, so it would just be embarassing...
