Get one of those Giants thats just been serviced and stick a pair of Marz MX pros as below. Maybe stick a decent bottom bracket in it, everything else can be bodged but its hard a cobble a BB axle back together. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=21562 Wish I could come to NZ with you, check out the Ground effect website as a good first point of contact, Nelson for xc and Queenstown for dh would be cool.

If I was away for a year there is no way on earth I would be putting Fox forks on my bike. OK so Peru and Chile are hardly Northumberland for Mud but is it work the risk having them in dire need of a service and completely borked half way through the year. Assuming you're not going to be near service centres and might need to pull them apart yourself in an emergency get Zocchies. At a push Rockshox Reba or something. Phil From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Davies Sent: 10 October 2007 09:51 To: Mountain Biking in the North East of the UK Subject: [mtbne-l] Advice needed! I need help. but on a completely unrelated matter, as some may know i'm off to Peru and chile and Nz for a year and a bit cycle touring. Now heres the dilemma, which bike to take, now the Glory is getting shipped to NZ so you can stop worrying about that one, it's the actual cycling bike thats the problem. I want a bike thats not too heavy but can take the knocks in Peru and Nz, i was thinking the Giant XTC http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=8106 as i can get these for cheap (£250), but the forks are bit shite, so i'm thinking off upgrading them too Fox's with a lock out. any body know anywhere i can get a cheap pair? Or does anybody else have any ideas of a good all rounder that doesn't cost a fortune, thinking under a grand. any help appreciated! Jim ________________________________ Are you the Quizmaster?
