bought this bike second hand off ebay. it had been previously owned by a fourteen year old boy, he had it for 12 months and literally thrashed it. but in spite of this all it needed was the headset nipping up, the gears adjusting and a slow puncture repaired and a damn good clean. it is now (apart from a scratch on the frame) as good as new.
it rides like a dream stops like a dream with its superb tektro disc brakes, and its easily the best bike I have ever owned, comparable with bikes that sell for quadruple its price.
the giant seat that it comes with is good for day long rides (without padded shorts)
all in all a magnificent machine 10 outta 10.

Giant says
