I love my Roam 2! It's proven very durable over the last few years & I'm not exactly a small or gentle rider. Mostly used on our extensive greenway trail system and gravel paths. Plenty comfy for 50+ mile jaunts & can hang w/ the "medium fast" group on local rides (at least for the 20 mile loops I've been on)
It just fit me better than the Trek or Crosstrail (XL frame) & the LBS that carried the Giant line has better service (tho I do my own wrenching most of the time).
