Cussing here. $@%%^&*%. Will never get that imaging to work. Won't even try anymore. Just making an old fool look like an idiot. Ahem. Back to the bikes, focus people. An odd, hybrid Scwhinn. Part this and that. Some baling wire. The Doctor said to ride it 3-5 times a week for my poor circulation. Yeah, right. >

How is it you have the complete 2003 XTR group and are using hayes discs? They are not compatible. 2003 XTR has its own disc brakes...http://www.shimanoxtr.com/#
And in my opinion.... get rid of Giant and get a Kona. Way more bang for your buck and as far as road bikes they make great targets for target practice!

It's not an MTB...just an aircraft-grade stainless steel work of art....from the pioneer of dual suspension bikes...

2002 XTR Group - sorry about that. I added the date to differentiate from the new XTR stuff and blew it anyway.
Pffft. No one offers more component value than Giant. Your road bike opinion is as misguided as most hiker's opinions of MTB'ers.

Last time I checked this was Mountain Bikers Anonymous not road bike anonymous.... IMHO Road bikes are a waste of material and money.
I bet I can find a kona that has better parts for less money!
