Giant Expression LX Hybrid Commuting Bike

I have owned my reliable Giant Expression LX for around 5 months and used it for commuting to and from work and it hasn’t let me down once. The bike has an aluminum frame finished in a tasteful metallic green and is a pleasure to ride. The frame size is 22 inches, which has been perfect for me, and I’m 6 ft 2 inches. The hybrid tyres and suspension on the seat post gives a comfortable ride along our rough British roads. Gear handling is smooth and quick with the Shimano EZ Fire shifters/Acera combo.

The sturdy rear rack is great for carrying bags or suitcases. I found the original Kenda tyres a little too heavy so have recently replaced them with Michelin Transworld Sprint Tyres. The bike is in excellent condition as I have serviced it every week since it was purchased. I am now selling it as I need to fund the purchase of a Brompton bike due to a change of job.

“Nothing allows you to experience freedom and adventure like Giant's range of recreational bikes. The Expression range comes packed with conventional practicalities for both the commuter or leisure cyclist. For an upright riding position, easy pedaling and a bike equipped for the commute we have the accessory for your busy lifestyle.”

I would prefer the buyer to collect but may be able to negotiate delivering on Monday or Tuesday 1st July. Alternatively the bike can be sent by courier, which will cost between £20 - £30. I will post to Europe and the rest of the world. I paid £270 for the Expression 5 months ago but am starting the bidding at 99p. Thanks for looking on this very reliable Giant Expression LX. Please feel free to phone or email me if you have any questions.
