New here, so I can't post a pic yet. Anyway, I've been riding my '94 Giant Sedona ATX since I bought it new in Summer 1994. It was $577 tax and all for the bike, bottle cages, and bottles.

Fully rigid, Shimano STX components. Alivio hubs.

I put Michelin Country Rock tires on it years ago for 30-mile road rides. I recently replaced them with new ones. When the kids came along, I added a Blackburn rear rack for a child seat.

A few weeks ago, I replaced the rear hub bearings and the bottom bracket cartridge, so it's now ready for another 26 years. Everything else is all original.

I see little mention of Giant around here, but when it comes to early 90s bikes for neighborhood cruising, this seems no different than a Trek or Specialized of the same era. Am I missing something? I'm admittedly uneducated.
