Laurie that Avatar is confusing me...

It isn't that hard to figure out. I ran over a Tim Hortons garbage can while in an F450 towing a fully loaded 40 foot horse trailer through the drive thru. I didn't quite make the turn as they are pretty sharp and I was tired of reversing and maneuvering the truck and trailer so I just said f*ck it and dropped it into drive and just gunned it. After my wallet was $200 lighter from buying a new garbage can I came to the conclusion that 40 foot trailer4s don't belong in Tim Hortons drive thrus!

Giant Trance 4x frames don't exist. Here is another "Trance 4x" build that my buddy Mitch did. It is way nicer than the one in my album/posted above!

When Mitch first started riding a Giant Glory in 2006, he wasn't sponsored by them. It simply isn't a factor of being sponsored by a company and riding their bikes. The fact that he bought a Glory prior to being involved in a sponsorship with them is sort of unique. I mean he could have chosen any bike he wanted to be on and he picked the Glory.

No. I'm just saying that he rode a Giant even before he was sponsored.

He's lucky he got sponsored by a manufacturer he uses then! That's like me saying I love Specialized Bikes, riding them constantly then being sponsored by Specialized!

The Trance is definitly a sick 4x bike. I've seen guys put in an even shorter shock to get 3.5" of travel instead of 4.2". Some of the Giant team had been running Trance X frames on DS courses, but I have no first hand experience...

if you can, the 15qr stuff is stiff, and light. but it's a chunk of change to get a new front hub/wheel, and a fork. i like the stiffness of the 20qr, so that's what i have on both my race bikes...

and framewise, since you have a p1, which at that time was a p3 frame, an sx has a really similar geo from the long to long, and s to s... sizing. i can hop from one to the other, and not have a long period of getting used to it again...
