Thanks Burton! I took your advice and ordered my new bike.... Giant Seek 1
http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-au/...1/12043/58346/.
Yeah! thats right, i went a step ahead and got myself a higher model.
I compared Seek 1 and 2 and saw that 1's component are three (or two?) levels higher than that of 2's (Deore lx >>> Acera). And that came for only 150$ extra.
Well, I didnt really like the dull bluish-grey colour of Seek 1 though. But couldnt find any other similar bike that could match the value of Seek 1.
And when I checked, saw that 2012 black seek 1 was waaaayyyy better looking than the 2013 model. I really wonder why did Giant re-design such a good looking bike.
