Nice! Havent seen a cruiser with a mtb drivetrain before but it sounds like a winning combination.

Go the Giants! (i have an 08 Alias hardtail, no pic's handy at the mo..)

Edit: There's always that one pic hiding in the bowls of the pc hard drive..


No im not a bogan (or whatever one may call it), the southern cross was for multicultural day at school...stuck ever since
Shimano brakes, Sram x7 gearset, rock shox dart 2, tough alu...been nailed by an AU forte (had to pull it out from under it) and still soldiers on.

Also got a fixed gear bike, awesome thing it is...full chro-moly..mmm

That looks cool in a cruiser kinda way, last bike I owned was a craftworks with custom shock and linkages and over 9" rear travel on a bike that came out when 5" travel was huge.... Nedless to say it rode pretty bad, but it was cushy..

Man I have had so many bikes it's not funny... But when you worked pt time in a bike shop when you were bike mad, that happens..

Yeah.....the new Giant is super comfy. It's certainly a cruiser style bike,
with a bit of added versatility by way of the gear-set.
Here is the specs page from the Giant website:
http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-AU/...de/7519/44420/

Here is my old bike, which I'll still hang onto as an 'old favourite'...
This bike was given to me by a good mate about 10 years ago.

Default Re: Just got my new bicycle....

I’ll post up a pic later when I’m home…but here’s a quick pic of me on my Specialized SX Trail

Current build:

08 Marzocchi 88 RCV Forks (different to the ones pictured)
Fox DHX 4.0 shock
Truativ Cranks w/howitzer BB
Maxxis Minion front tyre, High Roller rear…slow reezay (softest compound) tyres
Mavic rims…500 series….forgot the actual name
DT swiss spokes & nipples
SRAM X9 rear mech
Blackspire chain device
ODI lock on grips
Race face stem
Juicy 5 hydraulic brakes w/8” rotors

It needs a bit of work at the moment from the previous seasons flogging…

Love bikes!
