    Looking at a GIANT Rapid 3 on the Govt Cycle scheme.

    http://www.cyclesuperstore.ie/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=31121

    A good bike?

    Looking for something for decent mileage coverage without being an out and out racer.


    All thoughts etc accepted, as with suitable/recommended retailers.

    i've had one for a couple months for commuting and I find it great. Not super light but decent components at the price. Comfortable for 50km plus - can't comment beyond that distance. I have 2 road bikes for longer/faster spins.

    Same as ajk24 said. Makes the 20km round trip to work a breeze and a pleasure.

    Curious why you keep the Rapid if you have a road bike. You prefer the flat bars for commuting? The Rapid is pretty much is a road bike, just with flat bars?
