i wish that were true. i love giant bikes and i think that its a great company. however the local giant dealer near me is overpriced and full of mostly outdated stock. i find this a little disappointing as its probably china's best known quality export, you'd think they would have better shops in china. as it is there is a merida shop next door, another quality local brand where you get more for your money so thats where im of for my christmas present!
