Just finished putting together my Giant. Bought as frame only and a mix of new parts and some parts from previous bike. Quick test ride and everything feels right so out for a proper ride tomorrow pm. Time to bring the trails alive. 😀

Lawn's a bit mossy. Get ready for the face ache you'll get from grinning like a fool while riding it.

Reverb better under left bar.protects it and it's ideal alongside shifter. Just a suggestion

I never used to bother but since I started using one walkers get out of the way without any agro. Makes the ride better. For me anyway.

27, I'm only 5'9" so not ready for the big stuff yet.

As spotted its a poplock for the fork not a reverb switch.

Not a reverb but a remote lever for the forks?

Must refresh before posting!

Trying to hide the hole in your path with the front wheel won't cut it, if you have time to ride you have time for some chores 😛

I thought he'd purposely chiseled that out so he has somewhere to stand the bike whilst opening the gate.

Not sure how you ride it with levers at that angle.
Nice bike though.

Nonsense, if the weather is good enough to fix the path, then you should be riding.

I recently bought the 29er version. Just went stock but added a dropper post. Seriously great bike. I'm only 5'8'' and the 29 wheels make it look a bit like I'm riding my dads bike but once you're on it you don't notice and it just rolls lovely!

Needs a dropper! And turn the clutch on your derailleur on!
