Giant Rapid 1 ???
I'm in the market for a Giant Rapid 1 but are having a hard time finding one.
One person told me they are being discontinued.
Has anyone hear of Giant Rapid being discontinued or they just out of stock ?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

The Rapid is a great flatbar road bike, I have the composite version of it. if you are looking at a specialized version, it would be the sirrus. The rapids are or at least use to be based off of the defy frame set. The only sirrus from my knowledge based off of their roubaix is the limited.

The 2013s are slowly coming in, and LBS are getting them in, just have to be patient for it to come in.
I work at a shop that sells Giant, and I haven't seen the Rapid 1 yet, but have seen all the other Rapids including the Comp, but did see the women's version called the Dash 1, usually not much difference besides colour and slight geometry change. Go for the Comp.

I guess Giant is not shipping much now because of winter just about hear in the U.S. I think I'll wait till spring to see if the Rapid 1 comes in, Looks like a nice bike a review on Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwaMrN_J1iU

Can't wait to get one !

How is the tricross bike in anyway similar to a rapid 1. At least recommend something that's in the same group or class.
The Rapid is a great flatbar road bike, I have the composite version of it. if you are looking at a specialized version, it would be the sirrus. The rapids are or at least use to be based off of the defy frame set. The only sirrus from my knowledge based off of their roubaix is the limited.

You're absolutely right! Too much Birthday cheer!
Sorry, OP!
I'll delete....
Thanks, R1lee!
