1992 Giant Granite

The sticker on the seat tube near the bottom bracket says Cromo main tubes, so probably not, just the top, down and seat tube I expect.

That exage groupset has always intrigued me. One year only and great price yet many of the features of the higher end groups. Way better than the 400/500lx it replaced.

@was8v I agree with you, the Exage ES is great, not as polished a finish as the higher end groups and a touch heavier, but it works well and I personally think it looks good.

Hello! Nice bike! I also have the same bike for restoration. Found that mine has a Shimano BB UN10, would like to know if the Giant Granite is english threaded? TIA

Hello @leandr0512 welcome to retrobike.
Yes, the Granite has an English threaded bottom bracket.

Thank you! Now to find the campy 6 notch tool for my BB.

I’m actually using your bike as reference as there are very few links to other granite users. Cheers!

Got hold of a suitable stem cheap so decided to give the drops another chance. We'll see how long they last this time!

Looking great! I’m working on my granites wheels now, hard to find great quality rims in our country

Ride safe!
