Giant maiden run

I built up this Giant frame I sourced at Recycled Cycles here in Seattle along with a bunch of Deore parts. It’s so damn fun. The cheap aluminum bars are a placeholder as I have some Nitto Boscos arriving today to make this a little less aggressive and more cruisey. That should help my bloated confidence in the rough stuff. (I actually crashed twice on this ride but only included the one clip)
