Like the man says- don't be afraid to ride bikes to get a feel for them. As for the anthem- I've got 2480 miles off road on my 07, and KRD has an 09 that he's pretty dang happy with.
Giants are a little like Metallica- too popular to be cool with the fringe wanna bes- (even though Giant makes a ton of the other brands frames, there's even a local good natured giant basher who doesn't realize that giant made the frame he rides all the time!! HA!!)
But there are a ton of great brands at the QC bike shops! Start with the bike shop closest to your house and check out bikes until you find the one that fits- you'll know it when you ride it for 2 minutes. It will "just feel right".
And don't be afraid to show up at a ride and give some of our bikes a try!! Sign up for the notification on the "lets ride" forum- Riding season is here and I'll bet there has been/will be at least 5 rides posted this week!!
Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.
