Title-FAST AND CONFIDENT

Findings:

• "THE SHAPE OF SPEED: Giant pioneered its compact road frame design eleven years ago. The top tube slopes from the head tube to the seat tube, reducing the size of both the main triangle and the rear triangle to increase stiffness-and a stiffer frame means a faster bike."
• "EASY TO GRASP: The parts are easier for smaller hands to hold, with short-reach levers for shifting and braking, as well as an anatomic bar and a shorter stem. A smaller front wheel in the smallest sizes prevents you from hitting the front wheel with your foot. It all gives more control and confidence."
