Check out these bikes. I personally think they look way better than cervelo, specialized and other new 2010 brand models.

I've never like the look of Giant bikes and still don't.

It is all personal preference what we like that is what is great out our country lots and lots of options and we voice our opinion with our purchasing choices.

Meh.

(do I really need to include a PC disclaimer along with my post??    I just don't like the look of the bike.)

These are the low end.

Wait until the new high end design that Rabobank are using really hits the streets (they are out now I believe but not many).  Completely different design.

Yeah, I think they're ugly.

The higher-end ones do look nicer, but still not a huge fan.  There are several pics here.  Here's one:

Just you, x3 or wherever the count is. Terrible color schemes on ho-hum designs.

I'm not a fan.  I don't like the color schemes at all.  Not that my opinion should matter if anyone else likes it.

Anybody see the resemblance between the fairing/stem of that bike and Dark Helmet from Spaceballs?  I bet there's a button for ludicrous speed on the top tube.

I think they look cool. I'm biased because I have a Giant road bike which I really like. Giant's system of having small, medium, and large frames coupled with the ability to tweak handlebar positions really allowed me to get a good fit. But that's just me.

Interesting since the Giant design came out (and was used by Columbia) well before both the P4 and Shiv .......... funny how that works, isn't it!?

Not exactly sure, they are on all the bikes, it's either a bottle cage holder or a inner tube holder I think.

Seems like someone has to get better with patenting. The head tube/fairing thing has to be patent-able. Oh well, too late.

T-Mobile was Giant.  T-Mobile became Columbia High Road.  So for last year they road Giant.  Then Saunier Duvall-Scott f'ed with quite a few positives at the Tour last year.  Scott dumped then and partnered with Columbia HTC for this year.  Robobank rode Colnago for years and years then for the first time switched out to another manufacturer - Giant.

So yes, THIS year Scott is Columbia, Giant is Rabobank.

But this new design that Giant has was used last year by Columbia while they rode Giant.  It was funny because all the Cervelo weenies thought the pics that were being put out of the Giant design were actually the new P4.

Well said. That's what I was trying to be smart about.

BTW I love the Giant. Great bike. I'd wager you could get a Giant Trinity, race entry and flights & accommodation to Kona for the price of a P4. You just can't say "I got a Cervelo"
