Tony Harrison Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Not the best photos of the actual bike, but these are all I could find. I have one of the blue framesets, but don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. More photos here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future orange 660 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 i think giant only do the stp; street, park, trail (/trial?) frame this year and stopped producing the frame you mean last year.some large giant stockits may have some or be able to get one. it is likely that they will appear on ebay; as do many of the giant dealer special offers.

I only got it so that I can go and ride with my little lad Robbie.It's similar geometry to the Justice (the older ones). So it probably rides quite nice. Not stupidly long, but trialsy enough that back-wheel stuff, etc, should be easy enough to do. Only downside is that lack of 4-bolt mounts, but then we always used to manage with EVO mounts so I can't see that being a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
