Giant Acid frame - HELP!!!!

LikeClockwork · May 22, 2015

Got this cheap on the bay and really like it but....what size seat post does it need, anyone know? Seems to be 30.9 measured with the vernier, but need that confirming..... :facepalm:

Would need a lay back post too I think. What sort of travel fork am I looking for, sus, or axle to crown length, rigid?

Looks fun. Does it take 24 or 26" wheels?

Fork wise, I recon a Marzocchi Bomber with 100-120mm of travel?

30.9 sounds right for a Giant

There's a review here, looks to be a 27.2mm seatpost and it came with 100mm forks but you could probably go from 80-120 without too much problem.

Re:

Cheers chaps! Saw that review Mark, but I reckon the post must have been shimmed, there's no way it's 27.2 from the off, my calipers aren't that far out

Another review I saw said 27.2, so perhaps I'll look to shim it and get something decent like a Thompson lay back. Probably will cost more than the frame.... :facepalm:

Hoping it's 26" wheels but to be fair haven't actually checked that yet...

Do you have the dropout sorted yet :?:

Re:

Good point, I'd forgotten about that, nothing I have will fit as they're all the wrong profile.... :facepalm:

Re:

Could you put a close up on I might have one
