gilly Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Since i love my Giant i'll do you a review of that hehe.It's the 2003 Black Giant Team Trials frame, with a 1040 wheelbase and a whopping 13.5 inch frame size.....it even has capacity for 24 gears! I don't know by how much, but there is a definite bottom bracket drop too, so it is by no means a conventional trials frame any more.Riding wise i love it. The relatively short frame means its easy to pull up and throw around a bit, without being cramped and stopping gapping or anything. Streety riding is very possible and fun on it. It has pretty long chainstays, which make spinning more difficult, but i still have no trouble doing it. I have noticed how spinning is easier on other similar stock frames, however i think they make gapping easier so i don't really mind.Having a proper saddle on my bike is brilliant and its even possible to pedal whilst sitting down! The frame has a disc mount and vee mounts, if thats of any use to you....Hmm i'm not sure what else to say, or how much of that was helpful, but let me know if you want any more.

N.Wood Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 With all due respect, can you not make it up?I doubt your teacher will know the difference between a 72 and 73.6 degree headangle, it'll all be gobledeegook anyway.So if you're struggling for review and you like the look of, say, a Belaey frame, then theres no harm in saying it rides well too.
