Did your guys come with the Domain fork? Thats the one thing that might hold me back from that option. I think Giant is a great company in all honesty but for like 1300 there is a diamondback db8 27.5 with a fox 40 carbon we are one / king wheelset and saint brakes.... if I can pull a few hundred extra bucks together that might be a good bruiser of an option.

Selfishly, I was hoping popular opinion here was to just run the Process but with a bike like the one you just described I'd say the writing is on the wall.

The problem for me is I'm reading all this and talking myself into a DH bike.

Whats up with the racing bug Ster? I caught the racing fever a few years ago and enjoyed the taste but have moved on. Just curious.

I race a few local enduros a year. They are good motivation to keep my ass in shape/keep pushing skill levels and I know a lot of guys that race and nice see them.

Rigid 26" is gonna make a comeback!

I scored a set of rims for $ 1.00 yesterday. Yup. One dollar. Sun Rims s type 6061 559x34 black and grey camo.

These are the same one I put on tys DJ bike 5 years ago. Now I'll need hubs and spokes but hey for a dollar I couldnt go wrong.

What happens between two guys in the bush should stay in the bush...

The safe word is “yes! oh gawd yes!”
