Thanks for the input,
My local Giant dealer closed, I'll look for a new one(I may have to drive some). I'm actually
looking for a Giant Tuffy 20" kids bike. I have an older Giant bike (CFM 4) and like it a lot.
I'm getting back into riding bikes after some time off(my daughter just started riding
recently). I thought I'd look up my CFM 4 on Giant's website to see if they have any
info/manuals on it in the archives. When my 6 YO daughter saw the Giant Tuffy in purple from the
website, she fell in love with
it. She needs a good quality bike and she loved the looks. My Giant bike was a lot of bang for the
buck so I thought it would be a good choice for her(plus she's a good little saleswoman). For
the record, she liked the Trek Mystic 20" in pink as a close runner up. Thanks for the input,
Scott
