Any thoughts on this bike guys ??

https://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bi ... 999/66606/

I am thinking of getting myself a second bike, fast, light HT etc. and have come across this one...

I am looking for a second hand etc.

Thanks,

God quality frame, the components have been thrifted a bit to keep the price down, and multi front chainrings is so 2014!

Would you be buying the 2014 new or used? If it's new I'd be expecting a discount for the age.
Some options on Pauls right now.

Depends on the type of riding you'll be doing, by having 2x when doing my XC marathon type events it helps a ton by having the extra gearage for the linking road routes to go faster than if I was on a 1x.

i have last years version, love it pretty light and stiff in all the right places. Frame cam be a little noisy, especially huge down tube. depends on your type of riding, i would tackle any thing xc all but the most technical dh with confidence.

I'm not disagreeing, it was just an observation.

Thanks all,

At the moment second hand is the only option.

Maybe I can find a frame only somewhere and build something from scratch.
