Giant Super Sierra | 99
Old school mountain bikers remember it well: a mountain bike as if from a dream. Black chrome with black and red accents… one of the most beautiful bikes at the time and not too unaffordable. The top model of the Taiwanese Giant cost about 2200 florins.
Equipped with everything that was a must for a good mountain bike at the time: Shimano Deore XT group, QR, BioPace chainrings, 21 gears and again a U-brake. We said it before: we would see those more often.
Latest developments: the handlebars started to get a bit narrower...
