It's a real Giant, but dealers are not allowed to sell bikes anywhere but their shop. People who would rather save $100 buying the same bike online as they can in their local shop are usually not...experienced... enough to correctly assemble a bike.

Really? I would much rather save $100 by ordering overseas and assembling it myself...and I know for a fact that I could handle the assembly. It's not a matter of experience, it's a matter of how much money you are willing to spend. For me, the "support" and "help" of a LBS isn't worth the extra money, so if I came across a NIB Giant, Trek, Jamis, w/e, I would probably jump on it.

I'd buy almost everything online if it were not for the fact that one of my best friends is part of a family bike shop business in town that has hooked me up with quite a few good deals and gives me a regular discount off sticker price.

New/old bike added to the stable. I love Ti.
2001 Merlin Agilis. Acquired in 2002. Sold in 2005... reacquired in 2009... rebuilt and ready to ride! Pretty much done save a few little bits I wanna add. Rides as awesome as I remembered... and the SRAM stuff is great! Hope you like.
Only planned upgrades now are a new fork, KCNC Skewers, a Ti seat post collar.

Just got my custom Gilmour. It is setup with Campy Record.
We are going to cut the steer tube when we dial in the fit.
