We now that these kids are closer to 40 we are finding a few want to relive their childhood on these 'retro' looking bikes from GT with modern-day technologies like robust 3pce cranks.

New builds

Australian junior champion & shop local Doug Repacholi rode a Duratec Sprinter track bike to victory, now he picks up his state-of-the-art carbon composite Duratec for the upcoming road season riding for the WA Institute of Sport.
The bike features a carbon /alloy bonded frame totally custom-made in Europe with Toray carbon & Alcan alloys. Dura Ace 10 speed gruppo, FSA carbon bars , Ultegra pedals . With a standard setup with stock standard parts & no 'weigh-weenie parts' & 2 bottles the bike weighs in at 8.1kg. Milan the frame builder has just built a custom carbon Duratec frame for his 3 year old daughter Beata to show his frames custom capabilities. More photos to follow.
NB the lead time on a custom carbon frame is approximately 9 weeks , longer than normal for Duratec frames but incredibly short when you compare this technology with others on offer from the USA & obviously substantially better value at 2500$ for a frameset.

2007 GIANT release

New GIANT 2007 bikes are due to land here in Australia. (NB: mid-high end mtb & most road bikes will not be available until later in the year) .
