I like the Giant brand, the old VT is my favourite bike of all time, so far 😀 especially for the era it was ridden in and the DH team/comp can be picked up for pennies and once serviced they run great.
As for the newer bikes, they have a lot of good design features and are solidly built.
They are a good brand to own, however there are a lot of brands also comapnies, that could do with a hand, underdog complex. 😉
I think they should get mentioned more and have sales boosted, other wise we would have less choice and that’s not good.
A bit early for STW, have a good day if you can
