New to me bike. I finally got rid of my big hit to a bike I feel like I can be faster on. I traded frames with at friend. I spent the last couple hours modding my dhx mounting hardware to fit the giant. The dhx is a quarter inch shorter than the super deluxe that was on it. BB height is 14 or close to it. Im pretty happy with it.

Hey man, nice ride. I used to have one and it served me well for 3 years. you will enjoy it!

Just make sure the linkage is tight before each ride.! then your set to go! Bet it rides alot better a bit lower!

that was my 1st DH bike....brings back fond old memories.

that being said, make sure you check the pivot bolts often, or locktite them. that linkage likes to loosen up. that bike worked very well.

Thanks guys. Money is tight this year so this will do until I have the funds for a new bike. I cant believe how much faster it is than my big hit. The angles are heaps better than with my previous bike.

The truck is a 56 Ford. Its my grandpa's. Its pretty much stock except for the 351m, c6 and ford 9inch rear. It will be mine someday along with all the tools.
