I know a few people on here have been waiting ages for one - am pretty sure there was at least one available in Swinnerton Cycles at Cannock Chase when I went in there yesterday..... it was just in the display case and I didn't chat to them, so I'd suggest you phone before racing over there in case I was mistaken, but it may help.....

Hi
Me and a mate bought one, cash in hand, yesterday for £150 each.
looking forward to trying it out.
Already have a Maverick which this will be replacing and a Reverb so the comparison will be interesting
Cheers
Steve

Fatgit,

Can you post your thoughts on them both when you get a chance as im in the market for one but cant make my mind up which one either the Reverb or the Giant.

Cheers

Simon

Ordered one online from Je James for £144 last week, due to be delivered on Monday. Looking forward to playing with it. There are a few places offering these now, so will be interesting to see how they compare to the RS Reverb.

@LittleTones

How did you get if for that price from JE James?

I can only find it at £159.99

Seems a bargain at £144

Swinnertons have it online too. Pretty good price compared to other droppers although only 100mm but i guess you could put up with that for nearly half the price of a reverb.

Cyclestore have them for £144. Do Giant only produce this post in a 30.9mm?

Back on Track in Malvern had a couple in the cabinet last weekend, don't know what size.
Nice shop got a fair amount of winter clothing by Endura and Pearl Izumi in the sale.
