Giant rapid 3 any one use one?

[flying start]

Hi all just wanting to know how the hold up with a few miles-hard abuse
Thinking of buying one to replace my bianchi racing bike (can't get use to the drop down bars)
Also can you only get them in one colour? 3- black/red any info much appreciated Thanx lee!

How long have you ridden the drops for? Took me about 6 months to adapt. Presuming the bike is the right size, set up properly.

The Giants are great bikes though.

Have a look at the thread below a Giant Rapid

I believe the models come in one colour

Is that the rapid 3 in the link? As the lbs had one but it's all black with a thin red stripe the colour scheme on that one is way better!
Downfader I've had the bike for a year now but I do a lot of mtbing in the lakes so I feel better on a flat bar bike but still like the speed of a road bike?
