New Giant ARX2 replacing Old garage find Superrecord
I unloaded the Superrecord a couple of years ago and just recently got around to purchasing a Giant ARX2 for for outdoor fun and exercise. I plan to use it in the realm of light trail and gentle suburban/city curb negotiating rides.
I had been weighing the option of getting a Talon for a while, but finally realized for the kind of riding I would be doing I doubt a suspension would be worth the added weight. I was also influenced by the Giant Hybrid Innova I gave away long ago after many years of riding it. I had received so much value from that bike I thought I'd get something simple like that again - albeit with a bit more tire for the irregular surface riding I come upon.
I've only ridden it a mile or so. I may raise the stem an inch or two after I get a fifty or so miles on it, just to be sure.
