hi all i just purchased this bike but would like to know what model it is and some feed back on what you all think of it. cant seem to find out what model it is.I am also thinking that I will need to replace the tyres to a semi slick to be able to occasionally go on loose gravel paths.Majority of my cycling will be on road. also read the light isnt that great .. any comments on it or what would be better?

Says Tourer on the top tube, I'm pretty sure that's the model.

something wrong with your google then. I googled giant tourer and that was the first bike that appeared.

i seen those ones. I was looking specifically for the specs i have as well as a review, but the rs1 seems as close as i can get to it. Can you tell me a bit more about roller brakes and what sort of tyre would be best for the occasional light gravel surface
thanks for all the help so far.
