My first thoughts exactly.
Technically it was released in 2009 and 2012 stuff will be hitting the shops soon, so this bike is nearly three years old.
Not Giant's proudest marketing moment, and I am a giant Giant fan.
Actually, Giant DO have to do something: Giant have naming rights to the contest and are getting plenty of exposure for it, and remind me each time I've logged in recently.
You misunderstand me (and I expect Chronsy too), so let me try to make it clear. My gripe is NOT about the quality of the bike. To me (and others) it seems as if someone at Giant said "Well, what we got lying around here we can give away...". The better attitude would have been "Hey, since we are using this contest as an advertising opportunity, let's advertise our latest and greatest product!"
I love my STP and it is far older than that one. The winner will be stoked because it is a great bike.
for the people saying stuff from the bike in the pic, maybe thats a factory photo, so it doesnt have the sram parts in it. if thats the case they will take those parts off and put the sram parts on.. cut some slack before judging
so what happens if all the 6 riders you chose were in the top 6? because my list is: 1.semenuk 2.cam zink 3.anthony messere 4.cam mccaul 5.greg watts 6.geoff gulevich
what i did it 12 lunch time yesterday?. thats our time so like there it would be like 5. it let me save the team. and as soon as it went 5pm canadian time you couldnt edit your team.
you dont see americans going
CANADA, CANADA ,CANADA
every time we win something that has to do with mtb
your the people that portray the obnoixus american stereotype.
Yo give me that bike son I gots the team right here for ya. Is B. Semenuk even riding this year? Didn't see him in that laim best trick contest, which he would have won. Give me something for at least trying to spell his name.
Easy
