Also, most, if not all of those frames are being manufactured to someone else's specs, not theirs. Just because a non-Giant company has a frame made by them at their facilities doesn't mean that it's the same as a Giant frame designed and built to their specs. Also, according to reports, Giant frames aren't even made or handled in the same areas as non-Giant frames.
