"Giant" dissapointment
Giant finally jumped in line with many of the other manufacturers and has
released it's 2004 lineup. As stated by Nelson, alot of the so called "spring collection bikes" have carried over to 2004. The VT does now indeed have a "3", and the NRS "3" is now gone. Not sure what there reasons are for some of their lineup moves, but I've been left a bit dissapointed. |

I've had my eye on the Specialized Enduros for quite awhile now. |

Scottie, if that is the best thing you have to be disappointed about about, all I can say is : a) You're a lucky man. or b) Get a life! It's hard to choose between the two, so I leave them both for your perusal. ;-) Steve |

... I've had my eye on the Specialized Enduros for quite awhile now. So have I. But I've gone the VT route. I'm currently awaiting delivery. I don't follow the seasonal collections very closely (Paris? Did someone say we're on the catwalk in Paris?) but the 2004 models released now ARE the 'spring' collection for us guys down here. -- Westie (Replace 'invalid' with 'yahoo' when replying.) |

The spring collection in the US consisted of their "recreation mountain bikes" such as the Rainier, Iguanna, Yukon, etc. |

A Well the dissapointment lies in cutting models like the NRS 3. I also think either the AC line or the VT line, or both, should offer at least two more price points. It's to bad, but the AC line did when it first came out, although I understand the VT's took their place. My point mostly is that Kona offers a very resonably priced and well spec'd out bike in the 2004 Dawgmatic, which comes in around $1299. Unfortunatley, Giant hasn't caught on with websites like Kona and offer both price and weight as Kona does. All Giant uses are the damn $$$$ symbols. |

I suspect that it might take a few weeks more for the first deliveries to filter down our way though. What would you have preferred to see in the line-up? -- Westie |
