There is nothing special about them. Giant can hang lots of expensive stuff off their frames at a low price, but the frames are pretty average. I've owned three Giant's BTW, and they are good value for money, but there are better bikes out there.

Solution? Buy a Giant for the kit, throw the frame in the bin and buy a custom. .

What's lacking in a TCR frame?

All the non-Pinarello bits. Nothing else

They give you cancer?!! I thought it was only herpes. Who is your

Giant bikes are the best, they must be because there are so many of them, that many people can't be wrong.

Actually i think all you guys that don't own Giant's should go out and buy one because in the long run you'll be doing yourself a favour.

Just imagine if Giant stopped selling bikes in Australia. Pricing would go through the roof. You wouldn't be able to afford an exotic, maybe a Huffy if you're lucky.

So next time you ride past a Giant owner, thank him for buying a Giant.

Yeah... and don't forget the McDonalds eaters. Imagine the price of food
if it wasn't for them!

I have a Giant Trance 1 and I think it's the best bike in the whole world.

Jealousy?

OK. Even with a smiley, this has pushed the joke a little far. We've got enough car drivers around trying to kill us to have this turn into a cyclist vs cyclist discussion.

ohhhh jesus, get over yourself.

Oooooo I could pull you up on being done by a reverse troll... but unfortunately I was serious. I try to keep things in perspective of the intended humor, but being involved in a few 'cyclist vs x' incidents lately my funny bone has been fractured

Now you have to bring religion into the discussion.

Shame on you.

Sorry .... I thought about that after I wrote. it... I do apologise for that

Oh yeah right and I found it hilarious being hit by a car and having my bike and myself almost totalled and what did I get out of it apart from me having to buy a new bike because they had no insurance and my insurance screwed me over and the other person declared bankruptcy oh and not too mention I virtually have to come to stop everytime and car is going to cross the road in front me now adays.

So I can't say things like that buts its ok for you to say things like this "Giant bike has murdered your family, raped your dog"

We're a bit off course now, but that is a fair call. My 'extreme case' example was out of line (but is technically off limits, it was in another thread!!! )
