Hey,
I figured out a way to keep girlfriends from getting angry about spending heaps on bikes - get them a nice one!
For this purpose, I got mine a Trance 4. In Japan, they come with cable discs, therefore the same frame/shock as the trance 2. We swapped the giant fourbysix wheelset for some crosslands, and gave it sram x-9 running gear before it left the shop. It now wears my old marz mx comp fork, and deore hydros too.
I thought it would be a decent ride, but after riding it I'm regretting ordering a bike costing nearly 3 times the price of the trance, this thing blew me away. Fast, and confidence-inspiring are the best ways to describe it.
If anyone is thinking about getting one, do it.
Cheers,
N.
