Awwww Yeeeeeeaaa....
Well, I was going to bust a nut and go with a Giant VT-3
($1,500CDN) for my introduction to Dual Suspension, but I
crapped out and figured It'd be in my best interest to both
myself and my wallet to kick the **** out of a mainstreamer
CCM Torque from Craptacular Tire... I can at least get
myself familiar with Dual Suspension rides over the summer
and if I punish it bad enough, maybe I'll go with the VT-3
next summer.
I'm thoroughly impressed with its abilities thus far,
considering what I paid for it... I ended up paying half its
retail price because the store wanted to liquidate stock
2003 stock, so it only hit me up $300 vs $500 for it's
marketed retail price (before tax.mind you)
All Aluminum Y frame, with a swing arm and Juice DH Forks,
Linear V-Brakes (they're a hell of a lot better than those
shitty old Mono V-Brakes, but not as good as disc)
I need to invest in some body armour and a helmet but I
don't want to buy a helmet that looks gay... Anyone have any
suggestions?
