![]() ![]() ![]() If you are looking to really dial in your ride position, many retailers offer more thorough bike fitting systems (Giant Right Ride, etc.) which are not included in the price of bikes purchased through Giant WebLink. Your purchase price also includes a basic fitting (seat height, shifter/brake lever positioning) to make sure you’re on the right size bike. The price for your bike includes professional assembly by an Authorized Giant Retailer. Orders may be available for pick up the same day as order submission or may take up to 10 business days to arrive bikes shipped to your local retailer will need extra time to be assembled. There is a $35 destination fee on all non-e-bikes and a $40 destination fee on all e-bikes. With a lightweight aluminum frame, smooth front suspension, smaller 20-inch wheels, and geometry thats designed specifically for young riders, the new STP. We do not allow our bicycles to be shipped directly to a consumer. Braking was handled by Shimano XT disc brakes and the Mavic wheels were shod with Tioga FS100 tyres.Bicycles ordered online will be fulfilled fully assembled through Authorized Giant Retailer. RaceFace Diabolus cranks with an e.thirteen chainring and chainguide made the drivetrain strong and fuss-free, and Shimano’s DX pedals were excellent as usual. Up front was a Marzocchi 4X fork and a SRAM X-7 shifter (moving an X-9 rear mech) provided flawless gear changes, until we binned it and broke the unit. The standalone frame has the same finish as the top-end STP Zero, so we decided to build our own top-notch number with a 4X tinge. The STP frame comes with the relevant hose guides, upper and lower headset races, a seat clamp and a seatpost shim that converts the 30.9mm tube to a 27.2mm version. Short 15.75in chainstays keep acceleration ultra snappy, and a 69-degree head angle makes the ride lively without it feeling too much like a BMX. ![]() ![]() There are two sizes available – 14 and 15in – which are essentially the same other than the 22 and 23in top tube lengths and the 4.6 and 5in head tube lengths respectively. There are also V-brake posts and cable guides for both V-brake and hydraulic cables. GIANT fit a Shimano XT drivetrain, only cutting costs with a heavier SLX cassette. This gives the Trance a high-quality feel, which carries over to the componentry. The dropouts are fairly standard affairs with 135mm spacing, a tidy mech hanger and an international standard disc brake mount. At first glance, the GIANT Trance 29 1 simply looks black, but take a closer look in direct sunlight and it actually reflects all the colours of the rainbow. The frame is built from Giant’s ALUXX 6061 aluminium and it includes advanced features such as an ovalised down tube, an internal headset and a CNC machined chainstay yoke. The price of the STP 2 base model defies belief: it’s £299, the same as the frame alone, but has a cheaper finish. The STP is available in three builds, with even the top-of-the-range STP Zero being affordable at £650. ![]()
