Giant Rapid 3 Flat Bar?

[AndyCarolan]

Any opinions on these?

I appear to be doing more road riding than offroad and although the bike I have is still a good ride, things are starting to wear out/rust on it.

I don't think I've heard anything bad abou them but if road riding you're considering have you thought about dropped bar?

I personally dont like the idea of dropped bars... prefer flat. im odd like that (Helly79 would say that im odd in several ways ROFL)

I thought that at first and bought a sirrus sports but it wasn't long before I was yearning for drops and subsequently I converted it to drops.

The Giant looks a nice bike though, enjoy

Looks like the Defy 3.5 is the equiv dropped bar around a similar price range

Just picked up a Rapid 1 and love it. I have a back and neck problem but i wanted a road bike, the Rapid suits me.
