Dont know anything about either bike. But the Scott is probabaly lighter. I dunno.

Thats my useless post for the day

I think the Scott too, got full deore components, whereas the Giant has Alivio. ALso depends on which frame fits you better i suppose

Scott got better parts for what you pay, so its technically a bargain you getting

[MattyG]

ok thanks but i am worried about the frame..thats the thing..as i am going to keep the frame for quite a while..about 2 years so dont want it failing on me

I am a Giant fan for mtb tho...I have a Scott roadbike....so yea..test it and which ever rides best take it....the Giant is also 9-speed tho...

[MattyG]

i love the ride of the giant tho..feels better than the scott even tho the scott has better parts..the giant feels more balanced..

IF YOU DON'T TAKE THE SCOTT YOU WILL BE MAKING A GIANT MISTAKE
