Hey all,

I'm trying to get started in mountain biking and have been looking at Giant's line of bikes. I am particularly interesed in the Faith 1. As I was searching the net I came accross a website that is selling this and other Giant bikes at ridiculous discounts. A Faith 1 can be had for $690.00. Is this too good to be true? I obviously don't want to waste my money and be suckered. Any info would be greatly appreciated. http://www.2011giantbikes.com/

Most big bike companies only allow their bikes to be sold through authorized dealers. Any legit bike shop that lets you shop on their website will note that certain things can only be purchased at their retail store. So yep, too good to be true, sorry.

Answered my own question.

Nevermind, did some more research and answered my own question.

The best part of that website is at the very bottom it says "vibrator by catagory"

Ha! I didn't see that, but I did notice the "discreet shipping" text at the top. If I were ordering a sweet bike why would I want the shipping to be discreet? Lol.

That's freak'n hilarious :thumbsup:

The first thing to ever check on unfamiliar sites is the 'contact us' or 'about us' links, followed by the return policy. Notice how this site does not list a phone# or address to contact them. Only a a box to submit your email questions to them. These type of sites may or may not be legit, but I gaurantee you one thing, if you ever need support from them you won't find any once they get your payment. OP, I'm not trying to lecture anyone, I just get the feeling you are young and still naive. These signs are all very, very common red flags when buying online. Buyer beware.

Cut and paste from their "return policy"...

I've seen a Faith go for $2000 new but 2 years old, then the same bike was sold for $900 the next year and the guy who bought it tried to sell it to me for $1000 a year later. I even saw the bike in the LBS that originally sold it. I even tested it when the last guy had it. If I wanted it ,only under a curcumstance like that would I have bought it otherwise yes its too good to be true.
