Looks good, should be a good frame. I'm a big fan of Giants maestro suspension.

cheers mate yep suspension is brilliant so smooth on bumps and rocky terrains. Just need a RockShox pump to set my sag correctly.

Doesn't need tobe a Rockshox specific pump, any shock pump will do the job. I have a rockshox one and a couple of cheaper ones and they all work just as well as each other.

Ahhhh ok where can I get them just had a look on amazon and they do a rockshox one for £22 reduced from £35 iirc witch I thought was a bargain and was planning on buying the weekend

Ignore last post seen one for £15 now. Cheers

Nice looking ride!
This has crept onto my radar for possible upgrade next year - looks good for the price.

How does it ride? Any noticeable pedal-bob?

These are great value. I would quite like to try one, I have never ridden a full sus Giant without Meastro suspension, could be interesting.
Those pedals need replacing but everything else is solid and reliable.

Beto shock pumps are like £15 might want some proper pedals as well rather than those shin breakers you get for free. Very nice bike though like the blue and black color scheme.
