ok well i had that giant for about 5 months, my frends was selling his socom which he'd had for 6 months to buy one in raw finish..... because its lighter.......... so i duely like a good friend to him that i am took his old one off his hands. finally got it built up. few more things i want to change, such as brakes, wheels, bar and stem. but as it is comes in at 35.5 lbs on the digital scales at work (Y) not bad for a 8 inch travel bike

07 intense socom small

08 rockshox totem coils

You need to take that puppy up chicksands mate! would love the northshore there!

Very very pimp ride! love it!

grant

seriously cant stand northshore witha passion, plus the frame is an F.R.O frame, its not designed for anything but dh.

good job we've got some nice tracks around where i live :)

Are they Middleburn cranks youve got on your rig? i figured you would have used some beefy freeride cranks. nice rig.

yeah they are burns, freeride cransk are just extra weight and i really doubt i'll have more chance of breaking some burns over something else. plus they look nicer. if the fsa gravity lights were out i woulda used those.... same low weight as burns and a skf but designed for dh.

got her dirty yesterday and my god does it ride nice!

cheers for the great comments guys, keep them coming

Love it Craig!

Craig doesn't need to go to Chicksands, his local trails are The Quantocks!

I went to the Quantocks for the first time last weekend on the XC rig, I will definitely be going back there again, there is so much to explore!!!

Quantocks is on par with Wales, it has to be among the top 10 best places to Mountain Bike in England!
