Review of Giant XTC NRS 4 by
earthy
Advantages: light weight frame
Disadvantages: price?
...hill event ,easy answer, mountain bike with all round suspension, london to brighton, another easy answer, a road bike.
so now i had to decide wether i was going to buy 2 bikes or 1 to do both events. i obviously couldn't use a road bike for a down hill as it wouldn't take the punishment, so it would have to be a mountain bike. i had £800 total available to buy everything i needed, bike, helmet, riding jersey and shorts.
i went to all the bike shops around brighton and hove and all said the samething,"if you want a new bike you'll have to wait between 4 to 6 weeks as shimano are having manufacturing problems"
"ah" i thought if i ordered a new bike i would miss the first event al together and would only have 9 weeks training for the london to brighton,
not enough training time for 60 miles .
the last bike shop i went in was baker street...

Down Hilling and Jumps
Review of Giant ATX 1100 by
dude_mad469
Advantages: great for serious riders, and intense courses.
Disadvantages: Not easey to mend.
...My Giant bike has proved me an invaluable source of enjoyment, and fun. For me it has biven me an oppourtunity to explore greater and larger jumps which i would have not been able to do previously. The Giant ATX series is a reliable and relatively cheap (for a top quality bike), it conbines great suspension with lightweit and strong frames. Th bike can not only be used fo downhilling on intence courses but is also a wonderfull relaxing bike. I have often just ridden it on a weekend ride of the South Downs and found it extreamly comfortable. The only bad aspect that i could think of was that if you break or damage a part then it costs more to repare it than buy a new part....
