So I think I am going to endure the horrible torture of traffic to try to make this.

1) Will there be a size small Trance?

If so, I'd like a chance to demo it around 5:30-6:00pm (I get off at 4pm but who knows how long it will take to get there, )


Please let me know ASAP if a small will not be avaliable to try!

THANKS

Fred,
Do we need to bring pedals or will they have flats on them?

I would love to try either a Glory and/or Reign X1

Yes,

You can bring your pedals, or they'll have platforms

You're not so bright for a super-hero....

Thanks Fred. Had a blast on the Reign X1. It was a lot of fun, but way too heavy for me! I understand that X0 is 4 pounds lighter?

I wish I could have gone. I've been really wanting to ride a Reign X. Yeah, it's probably a tad heavy for the Fullerton Loop (35-36 lbs, I believe), but I'm sure it's a great bike for when the trail turns steeply downhill - especially Snow Summit. I was actually debating between getting a Reign X frame or the Slopestyle.

I rode the reign x1 at the demo, real fun bike, not as heavy as i thought. real good turn out. now i have 3 bikes i want incuding the reignX!!!

It rides bad ass going down yipee and climbs better then i thought.

It would be a blast at snow summit for sure

Yeah, I LOVED the Trance XO!!! I am kind of glad they didn't have a small and I had to ride a medium instead, it was JUST a tad too big (top tube length, but I suppose a shorter stem would take care of that), prob a better fit than the small would have been. Besides the CREAKIEST (ie freaking annoying) bottom bracket I have ever heard, I had a BLAST! That was the fastest I have over done the Loop. I also had the opportunity to try a med Glory(hole) DH a little bit (thanks Mark and Dino for pedaling it UP,LOL) and WOOOOOW was THAT fun!!!

Good times indeed. I am glad I made it.

Wow.

Did everyone get to ride something cool?

I was the last bike in. Rode an Anthem 0. "Big-ringed" most of the loop. 25lbs fast.

I want to openly thank Rich and Perry (P.K.) from Giant, and Fullerton Mike for setting this up. Of course it would have flopped if it weren't for all of my STR Bros and Sistas for showing up and making it worthwhile.

Demo'd the Glory DH, very plush, and it pedaled up hill fairly well, reminded me of my Giant Faith with quicker handling (steeper head angle).

Demo'd the Anthem 0, insane fast, explosive acceleration, and 25lbs, killer bike, I can only imagine what the Advanced weights in at 21-22lbs ?

Thanks Fred, and the Giant Team for great Demo, you guys rock

Thanks for putting on the event. I was out there doing laps around 230pm but didnt demo anything. I came in for another lap and 2 guys on Giant loaners were wandering around the parking lot not knowing where to go. I grabbed them and showed them around the loop so they could demo the bikes. One of the guys really enjoyed the Trance X0.
