Yup building up another bike. But this one isn’t sponsored by a bunch of cool companies. This is to resurrect my old Giant Warp DS II. You may have even seen this bike hanging in the background when I do my How To’s. Yup its a full suspension bad boy. Since it has 5 inches…

One of my favorite bikes is the Woodstock 707. I love how this bike rides. As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t like to lean too far forward on my bike. Some would say that is how XC riders ride. But for me, having short stubby arms, I require an All Mountain set up. You’ve seen…
