Can anyone identify this version of my Giant bike? Only ask as I bought it from e bay and the title had it as a team Giant bike,has team logos and sponsors logos.

Thanks.

sorry, but thats a quite low end frame and kit, dressed in Giants team livery from BITD.

Quite a few manufacturers did this as a marketing exercise, saracen was another one. basically the only thing team about it as magas said is the paint and the stickers.

A bit like putting a rs turbo bodykit on a 1.3L

Thanks for the replies. It's a shame it's not what I expected. Any idea what model?

the frame will be ok and would have been used further up th range. I did mine up with red DX parts - it was alright, just scrap the pressed steel bits!

I believe that's an early Giant Terrago frame. Not used on the higher range Revels and Talons, specific to that model only.

The basic frame ran for a good many model years and was only deleted c.2009 or so, latterly sporting Deore mechs and Suntour forks sprung with only the finest Y front elastic, so so it seemed. Not a bad frame. A bit dead and unexciting, but typically Giant tough.
