Tom_ Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I wouldnt. There old and dont have modern style geometry, It will be fine if you are going to be doing seriously streety riding.Im pretty sure they cant take drilled rims, and you will have to hunt around for a second hand one.If I were you I would go for a slightly more modern frame, with more modern geometry.tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergy Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 mike_2124@hotmail.commy mate had one i cant get him to tell you how it feels, he still has it but doesnt use it. they can take drilled rims (had a koxx one on it) and also nick manning has one ive seen him use fine in videos.

Danny@phatworks Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I wouldnt. There old and dont have modern style geometry, It will be fine if you are going to be doing seriously streety riding.Whats wrong with the frame being old and that it doesn't have a 'modern style' geometry? some people feel more comfortable and prefer the shorter wheel base/low amount of bb rise bikes...

cvtrial Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Go for something NEW! I can admit that I don't really like the Giant frames. What about PlanetX frames? newer geometry and the frames looks better, if you don't want to go for a real trial bike as Echo, Zoo!, Yaabaa, etc!
