Giant Bicycles

Giant bicycle, Porto Mediceo, Livorno
“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.” (Giant Bicycles, Wikipedia)

    Rather sleek. I think the model's available over here.

    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.

    A good looking bike that is well-designed; I appreciate the fact that it is lighter!
