Giant Peloton Arrival

[biggs682]

Picked this up Last weekend an 80's machine. This is the 3rd one I have had over the years.
They always ride well and very smooth on the road. Nothing fancy tubing std cro mo 4130 so good old steel.
This one has been modified with Sora sti units, otherwise fairly original.
You see quite a few of these with stuck seat posts so be warned, I think there are 2 on e bay with this issue.

Tidy! It's funny to think of Giant as being a classic brand

just started to do some testing miles on an other Giant Peloton this time a later 7000 series model, this one came to me from the 2nd owner who claimed it had only done 200 -300 miles from new which i can almost see , i have swapped the bars and stem out as original ones were badly marked up from storage .

I really like these early Giants you get a well built bike for your £

Another pair of beauties, love the sloping top tube of the first.
