The frame on the Handjob costs almost double a complete Boulder. So apparently the cost difference isn't about components unless Giant is practically just giving away bikes for some reason. It's a nicer frame. It's made better. I just think it's a waste of money to put the best fork out there on a Boulder. But hey, it's your money, spend it how you'd like...but don't kid yourself into thinking that a Boulder is a high quality frame.
