    in January i placed an order for a Giant reign x to be delivered to my lbs on week 13 1st april but then got delayed until week 16 now its week 20..

    extremely tempted to cancel and get another frame… but what?

    i got all the other stuff ready for the build.
    135×12 rear wheel with ztr alpine and blue hope hubs
    zee groupset
    hope stealth m4
    etc etc

    Shall i just wait?

    Probably will be delayed and delayed until the 2014 range is out. Them you’ll find its nothing like the 2013 version

    The hope can be 142 if you need it to be, apart form that not much else would be specific.

    Mega. I went from a reign to one. May be cheaper now new one is around.

    Why did you choose the Reign in the first place? If you like a virtual pivot setup then a Banshee Rune V2 could be right up your street!

    ZTR Alpine – aren’t they rather light weight for a Reign X?

    did not realize with the ztr at first until it was too late

    The name is a bit misleading, to be fair.

    to be honest im tempted to sell all the wheels etc
    and just start again.

    i know i will loose out but im deflated that i have no decent bike.

    only thing worth keeping are the handle bars (carbon answer) and the hope m4

    I’d definitely sell the wheels and get some with ZTR Arch or Flow rims – Alpine are a lightweight XC/racing rim.

    How about a Titus El Guapo – they seem to be great value frames and have similar attitude to a Reign.

    been looking about and i think the covert looking promising.

    just one question my wheelset is a 135×12 and the covert is a 135×10 would i just need an adapter or is a new hub needed?

    I really fancy a covert but read a few reviews that said they had frame flex issues unless you got the carbon one ?
    Any actual real world experiences ?
    They look the dogs !!!

    I have a Covert

    Love it, no flex issues that I’ve noticed, takes everything I throw at it, very smooth and more refined than my previous Yeti 575

    Actually bought on a whim after waiting so long for an ordered SB66 that never arrived, got fed up of waiting and picked the Covert up 2nd hand and haven’t looked back since! Love it so much, currently saving to get the Carbon version

    I call bike radar bollocks.

    I’ll get some pictures up – when i work out how to..

    Get one – i got my 2011 frame for 700quid – would pay twice that. I’m also saving for a carbon one because they look the dogs and its the first carbon frame which feels solid – if you know what i mean.

    I don’t ride anything else anymore – the jump bike, ht, bmx. Covert does them all so well, just need to decent forks now.

    I wouldn’t worry about frame flex, my mate has one ans throws it around no issues at all.
