Having bought this SUB 30 (second hand for $300 Aud)3 months ago and having spent $110 on parts and labour (Hydraulic Brake pads,tyre ,tubes),if find it a great improvement over the Giant XTC3 i had before(stolen at a train station),it is lighter,has less rolling resistanceit has good gearing,tradesman like brakes and elicits a few looks of approval. I have the extra large frame,so the ride position feels quite high at first but i have gotten used to it. With a total layout of $410Aud for the basic bike, $60 fer the saddle, $70 for an helmet, $50 for a lock (D bar) $100 for a 500 Lumen head lamp and $30 on a cycle computer(for fun). New the unit went for $1070Aud,i effectively saved $660.

On the down side, the saddle that came with the bike was an arse killer for me,so I fitted a velo Plush and it makes all the difference in the world.
