More images from the 2016 Giant Bike product launch.

 Giant Demo is Aug 23rd. 
Ahhh, Colorado. Home of the
inspiration for The Shining.
Go see Room 237 on Netflix now. 
Too early for people to ride sweet new bikes? Huh... 


You're looking at it, but what exactly is a Giselle? Though it's good looking, it's not Tom Brady's wife, and it isn't this:
This is a Grant's Gazelle.

It confused me too, but looking into it a little further, that bike is not, in fact, a new Giant model per se. It is the new Giant Trance 27.5 1. Seen here 

Giant  names each individual demo bike they have to keep track of them, apparently. And it makes for a very quick process of getting the right demo bike for you. Yes, they paid people to sit around and come up with a fleet of names rather than just numbering them all. Then they printed that name in a stylized font on the top tube of the new bikes they were launching that no one was familiar with. Those people then took pictures of the bikes to apparently confuse people like me who are then searching for what a Giant Giselle is. No, I don't know why they would try to do that to us, but what I do know is that 27.5 wheels, in this 5.5" package, is a nice do-it-all, yes-I-live-in-Boise-but-I-also-travel-with-my-bike machine. The colors work as well, we think, and you can ride one on Aug 23rd when the demo fleet makes it's way to Boise's Camelsback Park. We hope to see you there.
