    I haven't had my bike — 2008 Giant Trance X1 — for very long but I wanted to upgrade. I ride the Fullerton Loop every Thursday night with the crew so Dino told me to stop by and check out a Demo bike — 2012 Giant Reign 1 — they had at the shop. They swapped out my pedals, I left my bike there and had the demo for the weekend. Mike mentioned that it was going to be for sale, and told me a price and other details that were included in the sale. I pretty much told him I wanted it before I even saw it because it was such a smokin' deal! It was an easy transition since the bikes are pretty similar, but the ~1.5° head-tube angle difference and extra 1" of travel was definitely noticeable going down The Luge. I took it back and told them I was sure I wanted it, so they got it all cleaned up and ready for me to purchase. It basically looks and rides like a brand new bike.

    These guys are fantastic to work with (when together it's basically and comedy duo routine), and I will continue to get any bike related products from them. I have already told all of my friends to go to Fullerton Bicycles before they go anywhere else, too.

    Thanks, Guys!:beer:

    Awesome bike. Looks like you were excited when you were at the ship getting the details sorted out!

    Happy to hear you like the bike. The reign is a great do all bike and after going to Big Bear that bike is a perfect fit for some DH runs.

    I would refer to it as "Sanford and Sons" or "all in the family"

    great bike. i have one too. the 32mm fork will soon not be enough for that bike though. i went to a 160mm 36 and it was night and day.

    I demoed the bike Froader purchased. Very impressed with the way it gripped the terrain / railed corners!!! I was fine with the 32mm fork. Can't even imagine how awesome the bike would be with a Lyrik / Fox 36 / Marz 55!!!! 8-[

    I'd definitely like to upgrade the fork, but for now it's working just fine. Maybe when I sell my other bike I'll look into forks.
