January Double D's Post The Giant 27.5 -- Ride Without Limits.

Okay so this is my First Double D's post..... Not those you sick fucks!!!

But Nice right?

No by Double D's I mean My Drool And Dream post for January, Looking at shit I could never afford but like to look at anyhow. And being January, that means the very newest bikes are out. I have always been a fan of Giant Bikes even though my buidget bought me a Raleigh, my next bike will be a Giant. Probably not this one.

The 2015 Giant Anthem Advanced 27.5 Unless Giant want to become Santa Claus and throw one my way, this shit just ain't happening. I would love to own one but the Price tag of Around $8,000 (as low as $3,000 if you decide on the lower end model, which again Giant if you want to throw some love this way, I won't complain) My wife would kill me.

You can go right to Giants page to get a Tech highlights review on the Anthem Advanced 27.5 for 2015 and a full 27.5 technology lesson but for people like me, if you can't actually put it through the grinder you like to see it in action so here you go (this is more on the 27.5 inch than the actual 2015 Bike, but it is worth a view)
