Giant Bowery

Looking at the standard bike, its seems weird that they've chromed the forks + chain and seat stays then put on a black seatpost and stem.

IMHO anyhows

Hang on GA2Gs photo from the OTP thread has silver bits (and umteen spacers)

Does it get you from A-B?
Do you own it outright?
Are YOU pleased with it, and did you enjoy making those few changes/adjustments?

Yep?
Fuck Yeah.... Enjoy it mate - there's another thread in play at the moment with some geezer with all the money in the world wanting a P3 as his first bike! Looks like you could show him a thing or two....

Well if we're nit-picking. Let's shift our attention to the pink nipple on the front wheel shall we?

that's not a nipple you daft apeth.

You obviously love it. But having gone from OTP to building a bike myself I can see that a lot of the OTP bikes look like their wheels are detached from the frame.

I like man, enjoy it

Edit: I don't like man...

No need to get upset over a getting a technical term wrong. And I thought I was nit-picking.

Nit picking.

Nit picking.

Slack chain?

Actually, it appears to be a 2008 Bowery with the 2009 Bowery '84 handlebars, stem, seatpost, saddle, and possibly, wheelset?
So a mixture of Bowery bits from 2 models over different years.

Here's couple others. Mine's got the yellow accents. See the OTP Lovers thread.

Thats the standard 2009 Bowery.

Looks good, I've an 08 Bowery, great fun, finally went fixed a few months ago

Just got a really noisy drive chain to sort - tried all sorts to quiten it down, - has your change in crank set made any difference or was yours ok in the first place?

yes exactly mate - its frame same as yours with wheels from the white one and parts

yours looks cool as well

Lousy pictures - must do this properly sometime, but you get the idea - have an unfortunate bar fetish, straight nitto bars are on order to try next....

The drive train became really noisy on my 08 Bowery after a couple of months. Took it to the LBS to have the BB re-greased which solved the problem

Bars look wank, too much silver up front... Other than that, looks fairly nice and tracky.

Wheres the cheapest anyone can find a New Giant Bowery (don't care what year)

Pearsons where doing them for £225, but seemed to have stopped that deal now.

Lowest ive found so far is £260

£260 is pretty damn cheap, go get one while you can!
