Giant Reign XO 2008

He went out for a morning ride on Saturday on his singlespeed rigid Vassago. He got the itch for the full-suspension bike after swapping bikes throught the ride with some of his riding pals.

Remembering a Craigslist ad for the Reign, he made contact with the owner and the deal was done on Sunday morning in a parking lot.

Two more wheels in the house and a lot more suspension. He "picked up" the 2008 Reign locally from a guy that recently switched to a Giant Trance. The Reign has Maestro suspension--which means I can wear my Giant bicycles t-shirt with the Maestro logo on the front without feeling like a weirdo.

The Vassago remains.

And the status of the Vassago? DOA?

Vassago was given a break for a few weeks while he rode the Reign. The Vassago is back in action this week after selling the fork and wheels from the Reign, thus putting it out of commission...at least until the new parts arrive.

Watch for an update on Wednesday when two bikes will be swapped for two bikes. Vassago and Reign will be replaced with Bianchi and Salsa.
