TNT1 Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 wonder when giant will bring it in? Tomorrow wont be soon enough.
'Dale Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 well......um.........ahh........not........really........ok, pretty much................ :-p Yeah, give it up, rock. Looks cool though.
tombeej Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Funky looking bike, I like the idea. We have a lot of amazing tar roads that head up into the hills here, that eventually become dirt and continue on up higher. Sometimes tar becomes dirt and then later tar again. I could see this as the perfect adventure bike for touring. I was looking at the new Spez Secteur for something similar:
Hilton. Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 I like the Giant a lot. I think I'd just put slightly, ever so slightly, more aggressive tires on it. I would have thought you'd need a bit more traction than those tires seem to give for the average gravel road.
Chro Mo Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 The Giant and the Secteur both look a bit similar to each other and to the Volagi Viaje http://volagi.wordpress.com/ The Volagi is steel, though - which wins for me immediately. Tons of CX bikes will do the job - I have a Cotic X, which is my go to bike - has 42c tyres on, and can go just about anywhere.Couldn't be happier with it! Now need to buy a Solaris or P29 to complete the stable.
Stretch Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Unfortunately, that is the state of a lot of "MTB" races in South Africa. Jhb fixed
rock Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) loving the Volagi, new steel Viaje model out soon (hopefully), thisw vid will convince you http://www.kickstart...get/video.html Edited October 14, 2012 by rock
Ryan Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 That's the perfect bike for k@k road surfaces in the dark mornings. How do you think they would offer hydraulic disk brakes with the road sti's?
