    Is this Groundhog day.

    Giant Trance, Bird Aeris 145, pick one.
    Now where's that "Get Out of Crash Free Card"

    You think these bikes are better than the canyon

    I've heard the canyon waiting times are decent now just looked at the bird Aires 145 looks like a nice bike as well and you can choose your own components

    I'm in no rush to be honest as I just want to find the right bike

    Yes. Giant's rear suspension is the best there is. Extremely efficient and sensitive. Very stiff frame and a great ride.
    The Canyon's I've ridden have been lots of spangly parts bolted to a average (at best) frame.

    I suppose that's why the spec is so good at a low price cos it maybe has a cheap frame it's between the bird Aires and the trance.. Not sure about the bird the bike looks so long

    Ive just bought a Trance and its absolutely brilliant. Check out the reviews on You Tube. At least buying Giant from local bike shop they will sort out any problems, whereas with Canyon its not so easy.

    Joe31 - Giant have a fleet of test bikes and you can book one for a few days. Contact your nearest Giant dealer and ask them about booking a test ride or book online. It's the best way to find out if a bike is suitable for you.
