2010 bikes at this time of year are selling at 1/2 price everywhere Giant especialy they want them out the way before next year.
Shop around try several Giant dealers and see what you can do.

fraud. click around the site and the geotrust logo at the bottom when clicks leads back to the site and no verification.

85% of bikes and an address in hong kong smells and no real way to verify (that i saw on its site) whether it is real.

if looks dodgy then more than likely it is dodgy

customer service with hotmail and yahoo mail addresses smells like fraud...

those address are actually for their customer service over instant messenger yahoo or windows live. not email.

BUT, they are based in China/Hong Kong, and if something appears too good to be true, it generally is.

this kinda sums it up "Our company has many years of experience in bike,bike parts, we have many customers all over the world, our products include bike, such as frameset,wheelset, groupset, brand bike and others, we are based on the principle of"High quality, high credibility",we can offer the best service ,best price,and best products"

any site that cant manage english properly I tend not to trust. Gives me the impression they have no staff outside of china.
