Just wondering if anyone can find a better spec bike for £399. I really like the Giant and have tried this bike out.

    No. That's a good price for that bike. Is it a 2008?

    No it's 2007, my mate has one and it seems very good value for the cash. It's for the wife she likes the bike too.

    A bit more expensive, but this may be worth a look also http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.a ... Boy%202008

    Looks good is it worth the £40 extra? Think they only have the 18" frame my wife is 5" 6 and 30" inside leg so would be too big I think.

    I love the giant XTCs, wish I could have afforded one when origionally buying. The 4.5 had the same frame as the rest of the alu XTC bikes I believe (correct me if im wrong) which get up to over £1000 and cost £300 frame only so you can upgrade it to your heats content.
    Giant TCR advanced 2 (Summer/race)
    Merlin single malt fixie (Commuter/winter/training)
    Trek superfly 7 (Summer XC)
    Giant Yukon singlespeed conversion (winter MTB/Ice/snow)

    True of the 2008, though not the 2007 where the 4.5 was a different frame tot he rest of the range.
