I recently bought a Giant Cadex CFR 1 such a well made bike, even though it was made in around 1992, restoring it at the moment, cant wait to finish it and ride it :o)
Me three! I have a TCR Pro and I love it. I'm hoping one day the TCR Disc will be as good and as light as the SL/Pro and I will get me one of those as well.
*This is why I stuck to Giant Bicycles. There is a reason that company is the biggest player in the bicycle design and manufacturing business. QUALITY. I stuck to the brand and never gave any other brand a chance. I will remain a loyal customer until the day one of us dies!!*
I have a Giant Anyroad One with composite fork and seat post; rides great. After four years and many miles I haven't had any problems; changed rear cassette to maximum 42 teeth for Hill climbing since i'm Seventy now!
I have a 2009 Giant FCR; replaced drivetrain twice (due to wear and tear), and it is still going strong after many years of service! Great investment and amazing bike!
I'm curious if anyone knows. When I purchase a bike at LBS or a bigger store like REI, where in the supply chain did that bike's components come together? I'm sure final assembly happens at LBS but when are the components collected together with the frame and who is putting it together mostly? Who is building the wheels?
Have a tcr sl now. But just got a Ridley domocles rs frameset and maybe leaving Giant now. This Ridley is impressive everything about it is top notch. Stiff light aero and stable
By the way, it looks like only Giant is a end to end bike manufacturer, from carbon fibre thread to body and assembled product. The body forming process is truly industrial grade. It’s probably the most comprehensive manufacturer of cycling products.
I got one for me and my wife are looking few years back. She rode hers one day. One time. Lol I still ride mine on occasions. I keep it with me in my semi truck if I ever want to get some cardio in. I'm happy with my bike.
the only bike factory tour, which actually shows a FACTORY... good to see something unlike much hyped garage welding and assemblers in various guises...i d rather have my bike welded by a robot, frankly speaking...
I put some money down on a giant ecstasy advanced 3 mountain bike. Reason? I've always wanted to have a carbon fiber hardtail. I saw some other TH-cam video. How tough the frame is. That's why I wanted to. But that blue sapphire and black paint looks awesome.
My family’s old Schwinn bikes starting in the 50s Schwinn told us that they discovered giant bought a Old X Ford Courier production plant, set the family up into a larger production complex, late 70s early 80s as I recallThey produce the world Schwinn bikes, for Schwinn.
I agree with you here in south africa we have other mtb brand like Titan racing since I bought that garbage I have lot of issue's and there service is garbage too I will definitely gonna go for a better brand next time like Gaint mountain bike with full suspension 💪
Couldn't pay me to ride a carbon bike. I have seen way too many failures. Light and rigid, yes. Fragile as all hell - God yes Still ride my old ATX-780 from 1993. Love it
Sir mam gud am can i get one of your bike..i can not afford to buy so i decided to mesage you..i hoping you will considered my message thank you and god bless..

Why do people think businesses shouldn’t make a big profit? When I invest in the initial investment and use my ideals I expect to make a profit. A huge profit. If not, I might as well have a factory job without the headaches.
Jerry Inman because much of the education system pushes this victim mentality that believes profits in business are evil and what we need is a bigger and bigger government forcing equal outcome. That’s my grouchy old man rant for the day
I own three Giant Cypress bikes, one is 8 months old the others are 3 and 4 years old. The 4 year old has not a spec of rust on it The 3 year on has spots the handlebars and the 8 month has them all over and the brake noodle is rusted and the wheel bolts This tells me Giant is using cheaper materials as the years go by. I will not buy another New Giant Bike
4:35 they messed up and accidentally showed her putting "Trek" stickers on a frame. Trek won't say where their frames are made, in my opinion, from pics like this I've seen, 99% come from Giant.
only 9 hours of labor. yet the frame costs 2000 bucks. how much do the labors gets paid? theres a reason why there are manufactured in taiwan. think about it.
malayneum you buy carbon in bulk lol but only after you dump a billion on the factory just to weave it and make the molds then pay insurances, taxs, and employees
TAXES, TAXES, TAXES, and don’t forget shipping. Plus the retailers have to make a profit and pay their help it they want to stay in business. If I am going to make the initial investment and put funds into a business, I hope to eventually make a huge profit. If I don’t than it is a wasted investment.
Such an ignorant way of looking at the cost..... all of the development and testing comes at a cost and has to be recovered somewhere. Not to mention the huge setup costs of machinery and production. Its not just about how much someone gets paid per hour......
Trek casts their frame molds in Wisconsin, ships them to Giant in Taiwan, give them the specification on type and amount of resin going in the frame. Giant charges Trek $200 per frame, Trek sells the frame to you for between $1,500 - $12,000, the profits are kept overseas banks where they don't have to pay taxes on it. It's called 'free trade', learn it, because you're living it.
Nice looking bike but poor quality control or poor transport.Rear wheel has major issues right out of the box. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Rear axle is bent! Derailleur is misaligned.Since the rear wheel comes assembled I would have expected better.Assembly instructions poorly written, but that was not unexpected...just annoying.I just had the bike checked at a shop and was told that I should contact the seller about getting a whole rear wheel assembly with cartridge. (The bike shop could not do anything to help me).Not a good experience with this bike, so lesson learned.Added 3 stars for excellent customer serviceUpdate Sept 8 2020Just received a complete replacement wheel for free. Great service and an otherwise fine bike.
Hello Hope u can help me to my small business my item is diswashing liquid and more on the customer are so far i want to deliver it to my customer but it's to hussle right now because no vehicle here because of pandemic. Hope u can help me to buy a bike coz I can't afford to buy it. Thankyou

I bought a GIANT bicycle second-hand.. For me to look at this bike is like looking at a work of art.
Craftmanship an top technology working together
How is the 'soft' internal mould removed?
凄い！凄いっす！。私もGIANT乗りですが、故に感動です。素晴らしい。
スローピング具合とホワイトカラー＋ブルーアクセントがベストマッチ。欲しいけど中古でもほとんど市場に出て来ないんだよね。
I have a 2012 TCR 2 Advanced... It is SO SWEET... Very Edgey and quick.. and so bad ass looking
It would literally be a dream come true for me to own a carbon fiber giant bicycle
My bike is a 2018 TCR Advanced Pro 1 w/Ultegra. I have sold all of my other bikes. Giant is more product for your money!
@@kenharris9751 Had a look at the price of that bike, I can almost buy a car for that money =))
I CANT AFFORD THIS BIKE..STILL REMAINED AS MY DREAM BIKE
BOM TRABALHO! PARABÉNS !!!
Have a tcr sl now. But just got a Ridley domocles rs frameset and maybe leaving Giant now. This Ridley is impressive everything about it is top notch. Stiff light aero and stable
i trust expert's reviews in cycling magazines. this year's bike of the year is giant tcr
The dream bike....😍😍😍
Thumbs up on the video and thumbs up to all the craftspeople making these amazing bikes!

Time and 3T are the other ones I know who are not buying pre pegs.
I have an ATX as a commuter, I love it!
Can someone give me u name of a Fabric from China for bicycles frames?
How do they remove the inside mold from the frame after the initial wrapping of the CF sheets?
Maybe for the lightness of the frame which gives more speed
Yeah I'm wondering this too. How do they remove the 'soft' internal mould?
i think the mold melted away?
Johnson Zhou exactly

Love my Trance Advanced! #rideliferidegiant
I like the prototype colors. Black with white logo.
I still like my super Grand sport Raleigh...with campagnalo...groupo.........
It's ok as I have a 34 year old Zollo built by Tiziano Zullo in 1986, serial number #. All I ride now is my TCR and yes my Zullo is all Campy Record.

Did they forget the void scanning process? No batch frame load testing?

Giant rocks they make allot of Trek bikes too don't ya know
* a lot, not allot
I'm sure trek and giant label Chinese bikes. It's more fitting to say they contract bikes to be made.

Make for 200 $ charge 2000. The only reason bike factories using carbon.
Such "high tech " production could be easily in a home garage)).

Not for me First Giant I had was fantastic , this one very disappointing , ( A lemon ) !
I bought it was disappointed
Je roule un Giant TCR C2 depuis quelque années et je suis très satisfait
A single strand of carbon evolves into a hand made bike.
It wasn't that big...
中国製がだめなのは内部のバリと精度だよな
ほんとヘッド部分が欠けていたり塗装の補修が多かったり
台湾製はまーいいんだけど製法的にそこそこ乗ると3年で壊れる
やっぱタイムとか長く乗ること考え的耐久性を考えた作りの方がコスパ的にはいいよなー
Someday they will show how the Americans make bikes but not anytime soon.

This tells me that you don't know how to take care of your bike or you got the cheap ones
Merida factory? 🤔
"raBobank"????
A sponsored cycle team that uses Giant bikes.
So how come your bikes are so expensive when they are manufacturing in Taiwan iam sure the workers are getting paid big bucks, not.
Loren Kargard their bikes are the best value for money on the market
You should be asking that question to Trek as they are made in the same Factory by the same people but way more expensive.
They are paid $10 a day, whether they like it or not. Or less.
they deserve 15 dollars an hour...
Same reason why people pay big bucks for iPhone event it's manufactured cheaply in China.
