Giant Escape Mini 1

[Alembicbassman]

I'm after a hatchback friendly bike, but not a folder.

Giant make the Mini 1 and Mini 0, anyone got one?

A quick review would be good.

Ta.

Found this on the Mini 0 with 105 components. Kind of like a Moulton. Weighs under 10kg

Finally bought one.

£249 in the sales.

Quite a nippy machine around town. Kitted out with Shimano R540 pedals. Shimano 2200 not that bad considering its price point.

Somebody did the London to Brighton on one recently.

There's also this one:

Hmmmm !!!

A bike designed for wheelies, I kind of stopped that lark at 14 (21 years ago)

Disc brakes are good though.

I've just bought one, and it's excellent ! Use it for commuting, having replaced an old alloy mountain bike and it makes it so much easier. Very impressed with the quality, both of the components used and the ride.
