Ya thats the problem, Giant malaysia always slower than other ppl. I checked with Tay Cycle, Giant Singapore about 2012 release, IIRC they said for 2012 there will be no TCR SL, only TCR Composite.

Giant USA, giant Taiwan, giant Singapore all willing to reveal the MSRP online, only Giant Malaysia not doing so.

If you see Giant malaysia facebook, many ppl interested and asked about Giant bike prices and dealer location. You know what Giant Malaysia did? He ask ppl for their email addresses and send them one by one via email  sweat.gif

Even the dealer list after much persuade they said want to put into discussion section but after 1 month still not there.

I am not sure what the reason Giant malaysia dont want to post these basic information online lor. Dealer list and MSRP are not confidential information leh...Not like we are asking for the actual selling/discount price, ppl want to buy also dont want ppl to know  whistling.gif

So I would say Giant malaysia is among the worst I have seen.

Here is the facebook page.

If such a case, I can only assume few things.

1. They can't come out the MSRP because they might mont have RSP for consumers. That's why they can't produce it.

2. Some bike shops took the model from them but might change the parts in order to make it more affordable. If consumer brought the cheaper version, first thing they will think is Giant instead of the bike shop. Other than that, Bike shop might tell these consumers that it was Giant Malaysia's direction.

3. It could also be that they unable to get a authorise dealer maybe because Malaysia, bicycle not really as strong as in Taiwan and Singapore.

This is my opinion but not an excuse for Giant.. Sad whistling.gif

Hehe here is my assumption instead:

1. Giant malaysia does have MSRP, however whoever want this info have to email Giant msia and giant msia will then email back the info. Same for the dealer list. I have the email from giant msia to proof it. Not that they dont have, but they dont want a lot ppl to know it. Reason being? I not sure but I know this emailing forth and back is tiring and so yesterday...

2. If bike shop can changed the specs and told customer it was Giant msia direction, that means cheating la... Also I will blame giant msia for this because they did not provide enough information (bike specs, MRSP, dealer list) thus customer easily kena cheated. If they have proper website/facebook page with clearly model, specs, MRSP, customer can easily know the differences.

3. This one i agree. However seeing giant msia nowadays spend alot sponsoring this la, that la, if they spent this alot money doing sponsorship, why not stepping up the effort of getting more dealers thus making ppl easier finding their products.

At least create a proper website with few basic info like bike models, specs, dealer list. No need super fancy website but a static will do. I mean, sure easier than asking ppl to leave their email address and try email back every time, right?

Thats it.

Hahaha

Malaysian very quickly jump into conclusion wan wor..

Like bike shop, that day I went to buy a Elixir 5 disc brake system. this outlet took one of the bike's display and install it in my bike. I was shocking.gif and ask, "I thought you say got stock?", he said "you came late, it was sold yesterday. Don't worry, this is new because comes with a bike. I have already ordered and will replace on that bike". 2 weeks later went back, the bike using Juicy 3 disc brake...

Maybe Giant Malaysia didn't issue out the specs because if they do, their customers will complaint. And even if they place "specs may changed" remarks, some customers are from Hell and won't let them go easily. So, to ease up, don't show. I know becos encounter such things before. sweat.gif

Hi Everyone,

I would like to buy a bicycle. I could buy a road bike but I think a mountain bike would be better as in my area the roads are not in a good shape.

I'm riding for fun, short to mid distance.

What reliable bicycle I can get with budget up to 2000 ?

Please help me, I'm know nothing about them. Thank you.

You can ask the bicycle shops for opinion.

Do expand your mind because you'll never know that you might go for higher end of MTB in future.
