Thats why they are so popular, I imagine. I only ever hear good things about them !

Giant seem to have got it right !

Yes, I have heard Millar broke a few TT frames, when he was on Scotts. But Giants don't break very often.

true, i was sceptical about the giant TCR becaus the downtube is literally shaped like a brick! but it's a v nice ride and i'd recomend it to anyone.

Yes....I have heard a few people raving about the Giant. It seems to be good enough to get people excited, which is not so common these days, when everyone seems to have a super-dooper carbon bike !
