New bike.
Last thursday evening I travelled down to Limerick to take a look at a bike that was advertised on IrishDH.com.
Giant Reign 2 frame (2005 design with 6″ travel and the Manitou 3-way air shock), with a nice enough list of other components: RockShox recon 335 air forks, Deore brakes, Avid discs, Deore dual release shifters, XT shadow rear mexh, Deore front mech.
It was a nice price, and I purchased!
Sarah has now got the basis for a fantastic comfortable commuter bike with the Carrera Fury now that she is taking posession of that. I’ll be swapping out the tyres for the commuter tyres I got in France last year if that makes it a nicer bike to cycle. It depends on the grip on wet tarmac..
