Used Giant 890i carbon road bicycle -?

**indigoiis** · 07-24-2007, 01:13 PM

I googled for specs, not finding much. I am finding this is an older bike. Is anything wrong with getting an older bike, though? This is a very good deal.

I am window shopping at this point... just wanted to know if anyone knew of this bike.

So I bought it.
So I rode it.
So I LOVE IT!!!

Big time improvement over the mountain bike. The frame is on the small side, but I think with some minor adjustments, this bike will fit me just right.

I'm so psyched!

It works but you have to click on it... anyhow, that's the bike that's gonna take me as far as the next bikeshop.

Great looking bike! (I like the color!)

It is a very good bike for what I could afford, which was very little.

Someone on here suggested I go online and try to find one used, which is what I did - and it worked out perfectly. The person selling it was just about my size, too.

If it's a good carbon frame, just upgrade on occasion. What are the components?

**indigoiis** · 07-27-2007, 07:24 AM

-Shimano Deore LX, triple ring, 7-speed.
-Rims (Ritchey) are size 26" x 1.25, so fatter than a road bike (DH says I can put skinnies on it.)
-New Tioga city slicker tires and the seller put mountain bike brakes on it.
-Accushift shifters.

Wow. I'm turning into a bike geek!

And that's about as technical as this girl gets today.
