I couldn't help myself. Just a month after trading my Anthem in for a Trance, I succombed to the temptation to swap my Yeti 575 for a 2008 Giant Reign.
The complete bike was £1,100 from Pauls Cycles and I've transferred all the kit direct from the Yeti - so I shoudl; end up making a few quid after flogging the leftover bits.
Build highlights are Fox 36 Talas RC2, X9, XT, 719/819 rims.
Can't wait to take it for a ride.

it has pedals and isnt in the kitchen.
What headset is that I don't like it.
And remove the ticket from the seat/seatpost.
like it
it looks as though there is a guide on the outside though. not where I would have put it, but there you go.
nice fencing, only slightly let down by the ghetto rigged locking mechanism.

That's never Cedar Red, it looks more like Ronseal Rosewood to me.

Ronseal cedar red I believe, so you're both a bit right.
Yes it is a wormery. Sans worms at the moment though.
I know I missed a bit, but it's too much faff to set the sprayer up again.
Yeah, did the patio myself and water pools by the gate. Bit shoddy. :oops:
Oh, and some of you commented on the bike too didn't you...
Headset is semi-integrated, you're looking at a conical spacer.
It is a funny colour, more bronze than pink in the flesh. Not unpleasant though.
Yep, hose guide on front of fork, works quite well.
Decided to ditch the 575 because I just never quite clicked with it - and didn't want to miss the offer on this. Big fan of Maestro suspension so expecting good things from it.

Got one yourself?
How do you find it? Our worms didn't seem able to keep up with us, it filled up too quick and just went very rotten.
I might not have been cutting the bits small enough for them.
And I like the frame colour, it's pretty unique.

Well the story goes, my Dad got my Mum this really nice Sworfski...Sworrfski...god sake, you know what I mean..crystal vase. She instantly took it back and bought a wormery instead. How I recognised it...I dont know, maybe because I figured it was the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen. I dont think we got much joy out of it either....damn work shy worms.

Went for a secondhand alu one instead of the carbon in the end, spent the cash I saved on a new Rev u-turn with Maxle which arrived today.
How you getting on with your advanced?
Loving it! Too good a bike for me though. Two tasty rigs you've got there!
