I have a Giant, owned it for 32 yrs. I love it and have recently redid it ...again❤
Nice!
I had one for a while. It was weirdly comfortable. Solid, practical, good choice for utility and fitness. I replaced the fenders after the stock cheapos gave out. The wide bars were a plus for me, and I wouldn't dream of chopping them, but that's me.
I did end up chopping mine (can't remember if it was before or after this video) and don't regret it but I can definitely see the argument for the width as well. I agree they are very solid and comfy bikes to ride. I can't bear being on my racer any more...!
Yes v brakes are razor sharp. Easy adjustment 😊
Awesome owner review. You can get your cables internally routed at a shop but I hear you... It should've came like that
Oh nice didn’t even consider that really. It would be a big improvement 👍
Change it to a 1x set up and solid bike
Thanks god bless
Great review. Thank you. I’m 5 foot 10. Will a large frame be fine for me or should I go for medium?
Id say you'd be right at the top end of a medium and right at the bottom of a large so i guess it depends on if you would prefer to have the seat and bars high on a smaller frame or have them lower on a bigger frame. I think both would most likely work ok with some adjustments!
@@itstomsgarage thank you for your response. I guess I’ll have to test ride both.
What model giant!?!
Escape
What is the weight of this bike? I have a similar looking bike. Heavy duty. All steel. 16.5 kg.
Not sure on exact weight sorry. Definitely not the lightest bike I've owned
My Giant weighs 31 lbs.😮
So you dont use kickstand? Hiw do you park it?
Just lean it up. Usually against a pole, railing or designated bike lock area 👍
A proper commuter has internal gears, a proper chain guard, or belt drive, and a dynamo.
looks like I don't have a 'proper' one then...boo hoo
@@itstomsgarage no commuting for you 🫤
What will the posers think ?
