I own a Giant somethingorother, it didn't give me cancer. I'm not
sure where it is now though? If I get cancer later in life, I know
where to start looking for a cause though.


Yes well, we all know your thoughts on Giant

Was that trekkies or trekkers? Careful now, a.b's already had a visit

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

Sure - there's nothing special about them. But indeed there is nothing
WRONG with them. The afformentioned "Giant haters" seem to give off the
idea that Giant's will give you cancer!


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

Giant bikes are the best, they must be because there are so many of

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.
