Title-Giant Tran Send EX

Findings:

• A SMOOTH RIDE ALL AROUND
• CATCH THE COMMUTING CRAZE: For 2008, virtually every manufacturer has come out with a bike specifically intended to let you leave your car at home. Giant's Tran Send EX is a textbook example of the trend, with Shimano's Alfine internal gearing and shifting-a step up from standard Nexus-plus stable geometry,disc brakes and a suspension fork, all at an affordable price.
• NICE RACK: The Tran Send EX includes classy extras such as fenders, a kickstand, a bell and an aluminum rear rack with an eye-catching laminated-maple deck.
