if it was fully sram equipped it would have rockshox instead of marzocchi

freddiehg (Jul 22, 2011 at 21:02)

Hayes rotors and i am assuming calipers as well.

Andrew-Taylor (Jul 22, 2011 at 21:06)

They probs have a custom STP for the contest

Ditch the bike and buy new parts* Razz

JaseZ (Jul 23, 2011 at 1:47)

get screwed, STPs are the sh*t they are amazing

mnorris122 (Jul 23, 2011 at 7:04)

Yea, my friend has an stp with Hayes stroker trail and a dj1, that thing rides like a dream!

Downhill340 (Jul 23, 2011 at 12:02)

It's a nice looking bike but I think I'd change the frizz bee like chain ring on the front! Its monstrous!

Taane (Jul 23, 2011 at 16:09)

yeah i also have a STP and i dont like it at all.

+ 10

bergamontridernz (Jul 23, 2011 at 16:42)

How about this. Positive prop me if you like Giant STP's and Negative prop me if you dont.
Easy Razz

So you win a bike from 2010? Way to go Giant stepping up to the plate.....

iamamodel (Jul 22, 2011 at 22:33)

My first thoughts exactly.

Technically it was released in 2009 and 2012 stuff will be hitting the shops soon, so this bike is nearly three years old.

Not Giant's proudest marketing moment, and I am a giant Giant fan.

iambike4lyf (Jul 23, 2011 at 11:15)

to be fair they didn't HAVE to do anything...

freeridemanic (Jul 23, 2011 at 16:15)

and its still a brand new bike too. stop bitching. if you win your getting a new bike,FREE be greatfull!

iamamodel (Jul 23, 2011 at 23:36)

Actually, Giant DO have to do something: Giant have naming rights to the contest and are getting plenty of exposure for it, and remind me each time I've logged in recently.

You misunderstand me (and I expect Chronsy too), so let me try to make it clear. My gripe is NOT about the quality of the bike. To me (and others) it seems as if someone at Giant said "Well, what we got lying around here we can give away...". The better attitude would have been "Hey, since we are using this contest as an advertising opportunity, let's advertise our latest and greatest product!"

I love my STP and it is far older than that one. The winner will be stoked because it is a great bike.

tee-jizzle (Jul 25, 2011 at 1:27)

for the people saying stuff from the bike in the pic, maybe thats a factory photo, so it doesnt have the sram parts in it. if thats the case they will take those parts off and put the sram parts on.. cut some slack before judging

SaucissonSavoyard (Jul 23, 2011 at 11:02)

Hello, I'd like to know, the contest starts at 2:00pm, and we can make our team to 5:00pm, isn't there a problem ? It would be easy to cheat !

rigodon777 (Jul 23, 2011 at 10:27)

Martin isn't riding. If you would have seen his arm and his crash you would know why.

kanioni (Jul 23, 2011 at 13:00)
