This is a review of the Giant Escape 3 metallic blue. This is a very good value for the money. I ride in Eugene Oregon and the bike paths are great and you can 15 miles without having to encounter any cars.I ride year round in all weather from -15 to 100+ degrees Fahrenheit.

any one have any problems with this bike?

i have buy giant r3 2013 model guys it is great?????? please answer!

Why are bike seats so damn uncomfortable anyway?

I just got the gaint escape1, is a great bike too. like it.

I just got this same bike for christmas and I live in Eugene too! thanks for the review I am stoked about it havnt got to ride it to much yet

What kind of seat was the white one?

the vid from giant claims that the "splayed" arms on the wheel contribute to a more stable ride and better handling of rough road conditions. whether this is true or not, I don't know. You could definitely shed some light on that

Nice man, how much did this run you?

Thanks for the review. FYI, Tektro is NOT an off-brand.

I am impressed with the quality of that bike. I have a 2012 one, and I love it. I changed the pedals, put continental 25m tires, put mud guards, changed the chain and cassette, (because of use), and I am waiting to recieve my Selle Italia man gel flow saddle that I got from "Wiggle" $69.00. The giant seat was not bad for 10 or 15 miles, but I just started doing 50 mile trips and I needed a better saddle. Great bike for the price...great bike period!

This is a very good bike for the kind of riding you like to do and the are in which you live. If you were going to ride on roads more or for longer rides with hills, you would want a bike that's a bit faster with better drive train. But for how and where you ride, this is a great bike.

Love this bike!! Great value also!!

425 Euro in Ireland. ...

I have one of this, too. Upgrade the wheels and handle bar. The original steel handle bar is very heavy. An aluminum one will make the difference.

Nice bike; I have an Escape 2 from a couple of years ago. The main difference seems to be the internal cable routing, and I wish I had that. At the price I'm tempted by this, but that would be very bad of me: all that manufacturing footprint; I guess I'll have to stick with the external cables. Lovely bike, and a cool colour too.

P.S. Those brakes are fine; I still prefer simple over the disk brakes.

I believe the lower frame bars are splayed out to fit a rear rack and side bags. Gives extra room so they don't strike the rear wheel.

Nice man! Just called my local pro bike shop and they recommended this bike to me so will be going in to take a look at it, possibly purchasing it! Not sure if I should get a Hybrid or Road bike, with the Road bike was always getting flats.

Yes I wear padded shorts

nice bike!!!

Can someone help me out? i cant decide between this one and the trek 7.1 fx. this will be my first bike, hence why the budget. i do want a bit more speed and control, comfort is not that big of a deal to me(i wanted to get a road bike but my city road is pretty bad)
