Help, I've just got hold of a Giant Box One frame only and want to build it up to it's former glory! Does anyone know or know where I can get the original spec from.
Cheers Rich

I wouldn't bother the Box ones were never that great. If you want to restore a bike that started a trend.
Try to find an original GT RTS.0 -
Well if he likes the box one thats all that matters. That and the fact he already has the frame.

Seen a few RTS come up on ebay lately. Wouldn't like to guess what condition the pivots are in.

RTS's were great. It all went wrong when GT Launched the LTS every part of the linkage used to crack!
Sonic , i saw some chav riding round on a Old Carbon STS the other day.0 -
I'll go check for you. One down in the car park right now.
EDIT: Its a Giant 7 GLS or something of that verity. looks a little like the rock shock deluxe coil shock.
I also know its got Alexrims but not sure witch one.
Did you want original spec right?
Brake wise I remember the rotors were a 4 bolt like hope, but were not hope at all, some wird long forgoten one now.

I would have thought the Giant would be a 165. Fox float I would take anyday!

NO! She's all mine *drools slightly* Matched the forks you see!
The box one looked like quite a big shock, haven't measured though.

original spec would be my first choice....but then again wot do we do when we get a bike????? everything else I've got is upgraded!
How much for the FOX??0 -
Float RP23 is about 320 quid! Used to do a basic Float R for 180 ish. Rockshox make some decent budget air cans like the Ario.
