So I have the last few bits to sell before I head to NZ, one of which is this frame. My first full suspension bike and a pleasure to ride.

2007 Giant Reign X frame (6.7 inches of maestro travel)
Size Medium
1 1/8th steerer
135 QR rear
Fox DHX air shock (with pump)
Recently powder coated Lime Green
New bearings put in with less than 6 months occasional riding

Extras to include
XTR bottom bracket
Cane Creek semi integrated headset (practically new)
RaceFace cranks with single chainring and top guide
Cut down raceface seatpost and wtb saddle
Identiti seat collar

Issues to be aware of
Ding in brake side rear stay (no ovious crack - powder coaters didnt see any either)
Bottom bracket thread worn - current one in place no problems so far

Picture here

Price for all this £300 ono

Cheers
Joel

A relatively easy job for a bike shop to sort as long as the BB threads are not too mashed up

I did run 180mm Totems coils on it at one stage and it was a great mini-dh bike. Or recently it had Fox 36 Talas on it dialled down to 120mm for singletrack fun

Very good,but think I'm gonna be looking used to start,max 200 notes.after shocks will be looking at new,wheels etc..unless anything comes my way second hand.but one thing at a time,won't be a fast build.
