Title-EDITOR'S CHOICE: TEN BEST BIKES OF THE YEAR

Findings:

* "We were startled by what Giant offers for just six bills. One tester noted, The frame felt fast and ready to go, and it seems more versatile than its components."
* "The ALUXX butted aluminum frame paired with a carbon fork has a spunky ride, but it's still a smooth platform, worthy of upgrades to better parts as you grow as a rider."
* "Giant knows this bike's buyers aren't seasoned vets, so we give a thumbs-up to the adjustable stem and comfy Michelin Dynamic 25mm tires."
