Well after 6 years on a DH bike only I sold it and got something lighter. I will be putting together another DH bike in the coming year.
New bike!

Giant Reign, correct? Nice looking bike! Weird shock mount. Never seen one go through the down tube like that. Looks like you could potentially damage the shock with trail debris or while getting over logs.
have you never seen the team dh?
I think you mean the new Glory, which looks similar. The old Giant DH Team/DH Comp doesn't have a split downtube like that.
Yeah, nice bike. I'm not a big fan of the hole in the middle of the tube either, but at least Giant has a lifetime on the frame I guess.

Even though it's XC,you'll probably still want to lose that big chain ring, and replace with a bash guard. Nice rig!
Nice. Im sure you still ride it like a DH bike......Universe said:Well after 6 years on a DH bike only I sold it and got something lighter. I will be putting together another DH bike in the coming year.

He's already talking about replacing the fork with a beefy one, so it's only a matter of time before you get the pics.
I got the same bike, but I'll be using it for more XC riding. There are some DH trails here, believe it or not, but I'd like to be able to ride both. I was getting a little tired of riding XC on my VP Free. This bike should cover all my needs.

LOL, nice!
Whats the lil man gonna get? I invision darren getting him a mini Super 8 to start!
I've been riding the Reign 1 since this past fall and have enjoyed the bike. It's a great trail bike that feels more XC than I had expected. Great on 4-5 hour rides, even though it's just over 30 lbs. You would never guess it had 6" of travel (in a good way).
