Jolfa Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 It is fantastic to ride, I remember why I loved my old one so much nowStem is massive, but I had to have a Raceface system stem, and it was $10 (£5) brand new from america, barrrrrgain, so I bought 2 And I've had those pedals 6 years now, they're alright Just need some less colourful tyres, shorter RF stem and a front brake and I'll be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future orange 660 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 rear wheel spoke pattern, roadie style lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 An excellent vintage , should be very fun to ride . As for that disc mount surprising for a well established manufacturer to design something so poorly , even back then . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whizza Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 ah man are they Rob Warner pedals on the black one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I had one of those limited edition Giants, was number 3 I think.Black one was #5, nice to know you own one of only 500 Radially laced rear wheel? Sure thats a good idea?The other side is 3x, but black spokes so you don't notice as much, I don't intend to go massive, and I (and Mr Hawyes ) were using that spoke patern many moons ago with no problems, more for looking cool than strength to be honest ah man are they Rob Warner pedals on the black one?Yep, the very same ones on the yellow one.. But 6 years ago they're good pedals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banashapan Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Takin' it back to the oldskool! Looks good imho... didn't realise hope did split anodised hubs back then- I think many colours suits a ride of this age! Interesting shifter mounting and that's the craziest snowflake I've ever seeen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
