The Actual Weights of 11 World Cup XC Race Bikes from Val di Sole
I’d buy the Giant for a daily driver if it was 120 both ends and no electric shock. I think they make a great frame.

Review: Giant TRX Carbon Wheels
Disagree on companies not making good hubs…. Of my four CKs rear hubs one is almost twenty years old (and bought used), one is over ten years old, etc…. They’re used in the mucky northeast almost all year. Been through multiple wheel builds. And survive my excessive riding of slow, high torque, techie, climbs. One of the cheapest parts per mile buys I’ve ever had on a bike.

Pinkbike Poll: What Do You Look For In a Clipless Pedal?
CBs give the most locked in feeling. Fewer blowouts. As previously mentioned you don’t feel like you are floating or swiveling on top of the cleat.
Another biggie not mentioned is that their brass cleats protrude less from the shoe. Way better for hike a bike sections. SPDs feel like walking on a bottle cap.
Spent many years on SPDs, Times, CBs. All of them. XTs and Times were super durable. CBs performed best for me by far.

Nov 9, 2023SC Bronson CC w rear shock, Lg, like new, price drop
$2995 USDSC Bronson CC with rear shock, Large, like new
Like new rear shock, Cane Creek DB coil w 450# spring (perfect for my 180# geared up weight).
Ridden three times.
I’m the original owner of this frame I just got this year.
I’m in no hurry to sell but the frame has got to go.
I built it up, rode it three time, now must sell due to major injury. (Did not wreck on this bike.)
(52 year old guy with major rotator cuff repair and I’ll be off real bike riding for a long time. Not sure I’ll ever get back to the speeds this rig commands.)
Aside from some dust the frame and shock is perfect.
I’ve been selling here and on mtb for at least twenty years. No funny business. Give me a ring if you have questions.
PayPal only
Lyric Ultimate not included but I’m selling this also
Charger 3 RC2 w Butter cups

Not included but make an offer as I no longer need it.
