Which is faster ?

Why not look into more of an All-Mountain style bike...you will be able to equipe it with things such as and AirShick with Lock-out for city rides...i just think that you may have a bit of a struggle lugging a Faith into the City...

Thanx for the reply. I already have a Mongoose Deuce (AM/XC) bike and it flies through traffic. 😄 I think it is even heavier than the Faith too. I was hoping to ride it through the city on the way to the mountians. Perhaps I should look into a Mongoose Black Diamond Triple instead. 😕 I am just looking for higher higher quality and sturdiness.

Well, the faith 1 is an amazing bike imo but for riding through the city don't go for it, try to get an all around like the mongoose black diamond triple instead definately

I have my eye on a Jamis Diablo 1.0 and the Giant Faith 1 both '06 models. I want to use my bike for downhill and free riding but I also will have to ride in the city quite a bit. I hear Maestro suspension is not all thats its cracked up to be...but surely its faster than the Diablo on a straight away.......😕

Anybody own either one?

an odd request. an all out d/h freeride bike that will hammer through the city!
get a beater bike for city riding and one of the d/h boys will tell you which one is better for hills!

Thanx...but I already got my goose Deuce for the city.... :p

My prob is that I gotta ride it out of the city to get to some great hills.....

Let me flip the question the other way.........

Why wouldn`t you ride a Faith in the city? Too hard to pedal? Too heavy? Too tempting to steal?

Anyone riding a FAith wanna touch this one?
