Suga’s new Giant Talon


New goodies! Thanks to Grant and the crew at Maroubra Cycles for cutting us a great deal.


Lovely little bike.


Sexy Fox helmet.

Suga finally got her belated B’day pressie today! Whoo hoo! It’s a sexy little 14inch XC ripper from Giant. Fantastic bike which we got for $1k on the money (RRP is $1299). She drove home and I got to ride it home, fantastic little bike. Crisp gear changes, nice hydraulic brakes and the lockout on the handlebar’s a nice touch.
