“In 1995, Giant designed the first sloping bicycle, featuring a smaller rear triangle and sloping top tube. The tighter chainstay-seatstay configuration is said to be inherently stiffer than a more conventional frame design, and because less material is used, the Compact Road design is also said to be lighter. Add to that more responsive cornering and improved acceleration, as well as improved aerodynamics, and the Giant design became much imitated.” (

Rather sleek. I think the model's available over here.
Wow! That's an interesting looking front fork.
That is a nice looking bicycle!
My husbands favorite form of transportation!
I still have a Giant bicycle...it's an older model so doesn't compare with my newer Trek, but those are good bikes and this one, in yellow, is especially attractive.
It has a very agile form.
Interesting. I've learned something new!
I had no idea!
I wouldn't mind having a nice bike like that.
Not only for giants, I hope!
I wouldn't have known the difference...
A good looking bike that is well-designed; I appreciate the fact that it is lighter!
