A Giant issue
Hello all!
I recently purchased a used Giant Cadex Monex at a flea market. I am the happiest person alive that I was able to get my hands on one of these frames in near mint condition.
Now, as I tried to go online to find the factory specs of the bike, I've hit a few snags. For one, I can't find it listed anywhere. The printing on the frame says 'Giant Cadex Monex Ltd', but I can't find the specs for this model anywhere. Attached are 2 photos in case they may help. The frame itself resembles that of a Giant MCM from 1997, but that's as close as I've come to figuring anything out. It doesn't appear in Giant's back catalogue
I'd love to hear from anyone who may know something about this bike. It would be super helpful. Thank you for your time.

Welcome to BF! Try the Classic and Vintage forum with your spec hunt --- you should have better luck there than in the Intro section.

Cheers and welcome. Best of luck tracing down the specs. C&V members can help you there, if anyone.

Thanks!!! What a superb welcoming!
So far over at C&V they've only been able to recommend Bikepedia. Unfortunately, that is the very first thing I did when I purchased the bike. And they had nothing there. Hence why I'm trying to tap other sources such as this lovely site. I even sent Giant a message as well, and didn't get one reply. If yall have any ideas please let me know.
Thank you again for the welcoming!
