Mate, I dont know who you are, but the OP asked for $3k bikes and that is what I paid for mine from Bikeforce Docklands, cost me $100 to get it delivered to Tasmania. They were advertising on bike exchange.

Absolute steal if you got it for 3 grand, which I dont believe considering its a 5 grand bike.

Oi! No, not the Toyota's (LOVE my Toyota's) I prefer to refer to Giants as the Hyundai of the Cycling world.Farmer Elvis wrote:IMO Giants are the Toyotas of the bicycle world, they offer excellent quality with great service will go as fast as your legs allow, they just aren't a Ferrari so you don't pay the extra $$$

Funny i'd prefer the Giant anyway I mean Hyundai That was a Nice Hyundai that won a stage of the sun tour:) How many Ferrari's were beaten by the old slow Hyundia :)danny the boy wrote:Nads wrote:Mate, I dont know who you are, but the OP asked for $3k bikes and that is what I paid for mine from Bikeforce Docklands, cost me $100 to get it delivered to Tasmania.

Just relax a bit, I dont think anything I posted deserved that response. Well done, as I said, absolute steal as any normal person would agree. Can help but notice there is none advertised anywhere near that price now.
Yeah I did see them! My LBS stopped selling Scott as they were being asked to take Avanti and Jamis too and it doesn't fit in with their bike range (BMC, Bianci, Stevens).Wakatuki wrote:
@stinhambo, have you seen the recent reduction on the Scott Foil 40 at Avanti... I am so scared the GLW will see it!

I'd second this. Very happy with my no-name carbon frame + sram red from cyclingexpress, under $2500. Instant massive performance increase (from a shimano 105 kitted out alloy frame mind you)connico wrote:If you're not a brand snob then there are plenty full carbon bikes out there under the 3k mark that offer carbon + excellent drive trains, wheels etc
Hyundai? Right, clearly you're informed. Perhaps check some facts before you slate a frame that is/has/will win on tourPuffy wrote:Oi!
