kamizuri · June 2007

Here's my bike:

Giant Acid jump bike size 14", and 24" wheels, The forks and frame were sprayed black by local bike shop, so perfect finish.

Spec as follows:

Pedals-Dmr V8

The forks,tyres,wheels,grips,chain,axel,sing le speed kit,Rear Brake cChainring and Pedals were bought just under 2months ago,
the tape around the frame is only to hold the hydrolic cable in place as i have run out of cable ties

what do you think of this bike?
(also, i'm tempted to swap it for a Pentium 4 2.8GHz pc.. maybe that's a mistake on my part?)

Spec seems ok, but why would you want to swap your bike for a computer?

ah, well it's the other way round really - i just thought it would be easier to phrase it like that

I'm hoping to get this bike from someone in exchange for my desktop pc; a trade

I like to ride about everywhere on a bike, rather than a car, but I don't have a good one of my own, just a cheapy thing
i figured it would be a good way to get myself a bike so i can start getting into biking, and so i can ride about
and go jumping in the woods near me

I remember a few years ago all my friends were into biking and they would read MBUK religiously; I figured
someone here would be well qualified to give a reasonably well informed opinion about this bike

id go for it, but then get 26" wheels and some stronger forks

mmm_pie · June 2007

Yep, those forks won't last long on the jumps.

As theyre 2007 you should still be able to get a good price for them.

Toras aren't a good idea for jumping. It's alright though, i'd go for it. The spec is good for a beginner.
