You have hit a winner. A road bike that is strong enough for the brutality of city streets. Very nice.

Yes, the Giant frame is fantastic. I grew up riding giants so when I got back into riding 6 years ago, naturally a giant was a perfect choice. I took this Bike (Well frame) across the country in 2008, well completed about 2500 miles of touring and that was when it was a flatbar road bike with all stock parts. I can't wait to take it out for a week or so at a time this year.
