I know Giant don't get the most amount of love on here but I don't mind admitting that this has a special place in my heart, it's my old team bike from bitd except it's since had a few (hopefully sympathetic) tweaks.
It only just counts as 'retro' given the year split and although to me it's not got the same retro feel as the rest of my stable it's certainly one of the nicest to ride.
