Rapunzel Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 cool indeed - took one for a test ride and I really loved it. Only 2 drawbacks, the colour and the saddle (looks cool but my butt didn't like it).
Thug Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Very nice, hope you have many happy km's churning up the dirt and riding singletracks.
mountain_lion Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 I had a look at the sizes and I think there is something wrong with it. They only have up to M and it's got a very short top tube. Noticed that too. Something wrong on the website; looks like it is the Women's sizing (heading says XW, or perhaps the Ausie cyclists are just very short...). Giant International site seems to have got it right.
mountain_lion Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Congrats ML! Hope your old red steed will not feel too rejected! Nice bike - many happy miles! Old steed will be on the market soon; you still interested??
Tumbleweed Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Not my 1st choice colour either' date=' but that is what is on offer in SA for 2010.The 2010 Aussie version X2 looks much nicer to me (but has lower spec components than the international version).[/quote'] that's strange, cos we used to get the aussie spec-ed giants.I also thought we would get the aussie spec again; was a bit disappointed when I saw the blue international version. that's one thing that always bugged me working in the shop. the catalogue didn't always match what was on offer! i was supposed to go to a launch last weekend?but couldn't make it.
gummibear Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Very nice bike,hope it keeps you happy for many miles. Nice colour.
mountain_lion Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Nice bike! It needs some lights though... Erhem, Summer is starting in the southern hemisphere Hope you have a nice thick jacket WH!

Yes nice jackets, and booties, and fleece lined pants and skullcap and windproof gloves and IDT and dogged determination....
Brighter-Lights Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Sjoe dis mooi... ek like die blou baie...
TYGA Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Nice bike....those are fast while remaining FUN! You're going to love it, I much prefer the more recent colour schemes than the two tone Anthems and XTC's of a year or two ago.
