Product Information
2011 Giant Via.
More interested in a bike for cruising around, rather than out for performance? A bike that will turn heads as easily as you turn the pedals? Something subtle, but outrageously subtle. So subtle it's notable!
These "old school/vintage" bikes are the latest thing around the city and surrounding areas. During the warmth of Summer, it's easy to imagine cruising down the footpath next to the beach, looking out over the water and basking in the sunshine, or maybe down to the Bakery on Sunday for a leisurely breakfast. Well, the Via is the perfect bike for this. The Via is designed to have an upright riding position for leisurely rides, and has all the practical bike features like fenders, rack, comfy saddle, chainguard and a low standover frame (for easy mounting). The frame is along the style of bikes from the middle of last century but made from modern light weight CroMoly steel with fine tubing appropriate to the style of the bike and is fitted with modern alloy wheels with double wall rims, dual pivot brake calipers and 8-speed SRAM gears which gives you the modern bike features of easy shifting and reliability with that cool subtleness of the old school style frame and appearance.
