i had a 2011 Giant Trance and was very excited to hear that a 29er model was coming out.I waited,knocked back some crazy deals on other bikes knowing that this should be worth the wait.When i got my 1st sneak peak emails i was not too happy with the slack seat tube angle and ugly TT and BT junction.....but i thought "he if it rides like my 26er it will be sweet" and then i saw one at the Giant dealer....after vomiting in my mouth i went to the Specialized dealer and looked into a enduro.Really dissapointed with this bike.I have not given up hope though.Rumour has it the 2014 prototype is so different you wont know they are the same model........i might add though that they ride pretty good and is a great platform for them to work with

 one of the worst bikes on the market

 yea it is a litle ugly

 kill it with fire!
