Just picked up this Giant Roam 2, traded a 2007 Trek 1000 for it and couldn't be happier. Took it for a real ride today and it handles everything i need it to do from some trail riding to road riding. i was skeptical of the tire width but have discovered its a great middle ground that gives me grip when i need it but has little rolling resistance. great gearing better then i expected for sure, brakes need a touch up but are good, thinking about maybe putting disc brake on in the future. shock seems to be good, i dont know much about these so i guess time will tell.
