A few weeks ago (before the Karakoram) I picked up this Giant. I decided I wanted to try a 16” frame after having a couple of 18” bikes recently And the contrast was quite stunning for me. While the 18” bikes felt too big and unwieldy the 16” have a great feel and are very rideable.
I think this was a “trail” kinda bike as it has a lovely 48/36/26 front triple. The colour is just lovely. This one was all original and hardly needed anything doing to get it rideable. I did have to swap one of the shifters and gave it a good clean and new chain but like the Karakoram it should have a full service.
Very happy with it. One day I shall have a top end 16” retro bike.
