I like Giant bikes. Even though I never owned one yet, my next one will be one for sure! Oh and would a giant stance 27.5 2 be better than my raleigh tokul 3? Not much price difference. What's your favorite?

I've lived in Santa Cruz for over half of my life and I'm pretty sure that I served as an unpaid product tester for quite a few years of that. (One day/frame, they just stopped breaking anymore. I went through four or five Hecklers, four or five Chameleons and two Super 8's first. But they just kept coming back for free.) I even worked for the company for a few months as a frame assembler before quitting in disgust over the first Nomad design (Which they quickly changed thereafter. More free R&D.) I haven't owned one for some years now since I started making my own frames. But I figure they're pretty solid now. So I've got to go with my adopted home town of Santa Cruz.

Haha! Quit because you didn't like a frame design! :p

I've got my principles. It was held together by Locktite. I felt very sorry for Willy the warranty guy. Like I said, the new guys have it right
