Review: 2023 Giant Reign Advanced Pro 1
@preston67: keep a close eye on those...I mostly ride dry terrain here in CA but it still gets wet in the winter. I do BB check on a regular basis but one winter I went to take the cranks off my bike and the BB shells came out with the cranks. My bike never really creaked but I guess there was enough play to completely ovalize the carbon shell on my frame. I tried many things and the only thing that saved it was a BBInfinite that I permanently bonded to the frame. Not ideal but I will hopefully get more life out of my frame.

Aug 7, 2017Med Giant Reign Advanced 0 with upgrades
$3000 USDFor you consideration I have a 2015 Giant Reign Advanced for sale.
https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/reign-advanced-27dot5-0-team-2015
I bought this complete bike late last year and made several upgrades.
- Wide Range e*thirteen cassette
- XTR cranks
- Ceramic Torqtite Bottom Bracket
- Gamut guide
- 9point8 fall line dropper post
- Gamut handlebars
- Gamut Stem
- TLD ODI grips
- WTB saddle
- Maxxis tires
The bike is also completely protected with 3M clear protective film, which helps protect the fame from cable rub and rocks.
I've only ridden it a hand full of times before moving to SF back in Sep of last year. Sadly I haven't ridden it since. After moving to the city, I bought a good all round commuter bike and it quickly became my every day bike. I have a few other Mountain bikes and my Giant is simply taking up space and collecting dust, which is a shame.
I would love to see it go to a good home.
Selling for $3000 + Shipping (was $4500)
