I peed a little watching these :)

stances (that fork) are garbage! you could do much better. save up a bit and dont cheap out. you will regret cheaping out. bent rims, bent derilleurs and worn out parts are a common occurrence on cheap used bikes.

^ what he said. but instead of spending a ton on stuff right out of the gate, research it a bit, pinkbike.com and nsmb.com are great sites full of info. if you can maybe rent a bike and try it out for the first bit and if you like it maybe buy a cheap one. one that will satisfy your needs but at the same time if you find this is not for you, your not at a big loss with the bike.

 

So jealous you have a condo up there Ya then you should definitely get a bike if you are gonna ride a lot. But a good bike is probably gonna cost you. Good luck finding a good one that is used and in good condition at a decent price. Ya there is only one place in Simi Valley off Rocky Peak Road that I know of for some DH, that I hit up with my bike. I am not getting a season pass, too much money for only 1 or 2 trips up there, for a total of 4 days mountain biking.

 

subbed for badassness. my brother does downhill but is selling his bike cause he's moving to columbia, the flattest place on earth

 

Just got it!

 

its yours??

sickk!!

is that a faith 3 or what?

 

Yupp just bought it 2 hours ago. Yea giant, faith 3.

 

Sick!!!!
that looks awsome! i used to have a Giant mountain bike, and it was awsome!

I like how its all polishsed Alluminum or what not... Verry COOO.....

 

exactly. i thought i mentioned that but i guess not. dont go throwing a ton of money out the window and not even know if you like it or not.

 

I can't thank you enough for posting these. Just freaking awesome!!!

 

yea i would have to agree. Ive been riding a hard tail on trails and doing some minor DH stuff (as much as you can in a hard tail), so it was time for an upgrade. Taking my first trip with it on the 21st of june if all works out

 

That bike looks like a blast to ride! You can't go wrong with Giant Bikes. I have a Giant AC from 2002 or 2003 that I still ride today with all the original parts on it, nothing has broken. You made a good choice. I can't wait till mammoth opens btw

Just got a full face for 50 bucks still in the box!!!! I walked into a bike shop and asked the guy if he had any in stock and he said "i have one more, im asking $150 but ill give it to you for $50." got 50 dollar shin and knee guards for $10 bucks too.

 

Nice!!!!

 

How do you like it? I havnt had a chance to really ride mine and get used to it. its in the shop getting a tune up till tuesday.

 

what shock are you going to replace it with?

 

fighterpilot yours should be fine. mine works fine for me and yours is a better model than mine. i have a dhx 3, yours looks like a 4..maybe 5

his looks like a progressive. my buddy had one on his old sx trail and it was garbage as well.

 

man those videos were intense

 

saint always made good stuff but those are pretty awesome. great engineering went into them.
