Long story made short:
I had been looking for any entry level road bike for a couple of weeks. I bought a new Giant Wind Mark in China while I was vacationing in Shanghai last week. It looked like a great entry level bike, and was only $350 through the exchange rate. The problem is that the box was too big for the airport, so now it is being shipped to America, with the manual still inside the box.
What little information I can find on this bike since getting home is this:
CR-MO frame
CR-MO front fork
Alluminum Alloy double-decked wheels
Shimano Sora, 16S
2002 model
Which I got from http://www.giant-bicycle.com/ch/030.000.000/030.000.000.asp?year=2002&range=81, and then translated through an automated webpage.
I cannot find more detailed specs anywhere on the internet!!! I even called the American Headquaters of Giant, and they couldn't tell me anything either.
I have two questions for anyone willing to take the time to answer. 1) Has anyone ever heard of this bike, or know where I can get more information? 2) Was this a stupid gamble on my part?
