So we all know the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. Well I went and bought yet another old DH rig, despite losing around $1k in the past 12 months trying to resurrect old clunkers that were terminal. This time its a 2006 Giant Faith 2, that was a barn find and had been sitting in a shed for 3 years.
She's faded, dusty and home to 3 generations of redback spiders. It would have been great to pump a couple of hundred into it and return it to its former glory but sadly it's going to be raided for parts as it is worth more individually than as a whole and there's no real call for this mid-school classics.
It does make me lament though that these bikes we once coveted and saw our favourite riders do insane things on down steep hills are now worth less than a bottle of bourbon and a pack of winnie blues. Although with their weight and cost of scrap metal I may actually have a fortune sitting in my garage.
