That stepdown up that hill up that matai road place. Something rather hill? Now a massive forest? Was a freakin long time ago!
I actually chose to ride GT. Was me and scarlett originally, then took on board KB and Tom Holland. Scarlett won the world champs on hers. GT is an amazing company to deal with as are Worrells. My buddies were on Giants at that stage, those DH teams were actually fucking sweet bikes, but no where near as inherently quick as the GT. Giants used to be great value, in fact my current rig is a 2004 DH team.
In those days the GT was the race rig you only got 2 seasons from. The new giants, treks etc sometimes only last a day before the swingarm is gone. Ive seen plenty of them fail. The new giant frame weighs the same as my specialized pitch xc frame. My DH team weighs 50 lbs, but is on its 7th season.
Fuck I rant when im on the vino
