I like the bike, at interbike I had the oppurtunity from my friend who is the canadian rep to pick one up. I said no.. No because I think the way the bike feels is very similiar to my Orca 2009. I did not like the end result with that bike. Now my Cervelo R3-Sl. That is another story as it provides me with the stiffness and compliance i wanted. Also for those who care for weight it is under 15 lbs with computer (heavy garmin) / pedals / and a 240 gram saddle. the giant is a very gorgeous bike if you like compact geometry and a very stiff rear end. Seat stays are gnarly design.
