^^^^^9/10 for that intense, I really have a thing for those bikes and the green looks so good.


My Giant Faith 2010, what you guys think?

If it has an Overdrive 2 setup I hate it. If not its cool.

Without trying to compare it directly to the new bikes I'd give it a 7/10.

whats overdrive 2?

Overdrive 2 was a new steerer tube standard that Giant developed and was / is pushing for. Its between E2 taper and 1.5 and its the dumbest piece of marketing BS Ive read in a while. It only came on Giant bikes stock, I'm not sure if they are still sticking with it.

2010 giants were just tapered 1.125" - 1.5"
