my faith and a tomac 208 magnum

[habitatxskate]

well i have a giant faith 3 w/ an srs chainguide that i bought for a decent price a year ago. i walked into my LBS today and talked to my x boss..he has always had a tomac 204 magnum that no one ever bought..he said make him a reasonable offer..i said 1300 and i'll make him a better website then the one he has now..i have a faith, but i am not sure if its worth selling the faith and getting that tomac..the bike has a boxxer and a built in chainguide along w/ some other stuff..since its only 1300 for me, thats like the cost of the frame! so basically, i'm asking, is it worth parting w/ my giant faith 3 and getting that amazing tomac..i'm going to go test it out in an hour, and i'm thinking its a killer deal..i just need some ideas..let me know please!

the 208 is a race frame, and from knowing you the faith is more fitting for your riding style. is the 208 even your size?

[habitatxskate]

yeah, its a good size, the thing is the faith is just so damn heavy and its hard for me..i'm going in 10 minutes..if i can't get my bike sold, or i don't like it, i'll beg him to trade forks w/ me or get me one mad cheap..the faith man, its just heavy heavy heavy for me.. no bike really fits my size, and i am still growing..i'll see how she rides, but from what i've been told they're sick

i met 204 magnum, my fault!

if you think the faith is heavy i am pretty sure you are not going to be thrilled on the weight of the magnum. those things are like boat anchors. thay ar cool though becasue all the weight is centered, so it makes the bicycle travel at high rates of speed.

well Ill buy the faith 3, depends on the size and what price you want for it

Why dont you just flip the lower link on your faith. It will be a better bike that way (and no heavier than that tank of a magnum)
