I'm glad to hear that many of you are talking about Giant bikes!! They are a great company, are probably the most financially sound mass produced company right now. They actually produce many of the frames that many of you aare riding from other companies...ummm.

RM, your new bike sounds great, too bad it didn't fit. Before you buy another, is there a way for you to study the geometry of the bike that you currently ride vs anything that you might be interested in the future? That should definitely help with fitting, and not have another great bike in the shop that doesn't fit you. Generally speaking, small and large bikes are a bit harder to sell than many others... although I'm sure you won't have a hard time selling the argyle
